I visited an old granny last night and I walked away with a heavy heart. I have always thought it would be easy to accept the demise of our loved ones especially those who have grown to a ripe old age. I was wrong. She lay in bed seeking for warmth from her loved ones with her palms, open thoughout the night. I missed her voice. An aunt told her daughter to whisper in granny's ear and tell her how much she is loved. She teared but nothing was heard. I teared. Tears came when aunt whispered in granny's ears, "Mother, we love you. A mother's love is the greatest love of all." I thought of my mum and wondered when I would tell her that. Would I have to wait for a moment? A moment that could be our last? Have you told a loved one lately?
