My grandmother...


My grandmother married early at the age of 16...
unfortunately..my grandfather passed away early and she had to raised 9 kids on her own...



She took care of me for a few years....the younger baby was me...



In primary school, she would always give me alot of pocket money ...every night before school she will stuff alot of coins in my purse...for which i am really grateful..cos
last time kids' pocket money is only 1 buck or less...i will always have more than 2 bucks every day...
because of me....she fell down on her way to fetch me from Sports Day.. and could not walk for weeks..was wheel chair bound...our house was so inconvenient for her as there is no elevator...

A few years later...she went back to malaysia to take care of other grandchildren..

the last photo I took with her was this year Chinese New Year...






but just got back from her funeral yesterday...which was only a short 3 days...





In loving memory of Tan Seok Eng


From 29 Feb 1926 to 5 June 2008 7.30pm
Leaving behind 9 children...5 daughter-in-laws...4 son-in-laws...
35 grandchildren...16 great grandchildren..

I must say she had a wonderful 82 years....managed to live long enough to see great grandchildren...
没机会告诉你谢谢你的照顾
没有机会回报你。。。
