True Love

I have been disappointed a few times but the only man who had ever really broke my heart was my Grandfather. Surprised? I don't know why but this particular image of my late Grandfather suddenly surfaced again and had been swimming in my mind for a few days.

At my Grandmother's funeral more than a decade back, I witnessed a scene that haunts me until now. It was the very first time I saw my Grandfather broke down. As he laid a red rose on my Grandmother's casket, he collapsed in tears and that very moment, my heart broke.

His Life companion finally left him. They were together for more than 60 years and according to my Aunt, they fled China because they wanted to ELOPE. Never knew something so drama would happen among the Cheongs (or rather, really Chongs).

Makes you ponder why people continue looking forward to falling in love when ulitmately, they will leave you. Oh the hurt!

Talk about a downer! I read the title of the post and was like "CONFESSION TIME! CHA! CHA! CHA!" But no! You have to get all sentimental and serious and right on us. :P

And who cares if they'll eventually leave, it's the getting together and being together that counts. :P
