visited my mum at about noon yesterday and saw her eyes wet and tearing. understood from the domestic helper that she had been crying the whole morning as her legs were painful. she smiled when i visited her. she was weak and had no strength to even sit up properly. i had to cajole her into eating the bowl of porridge.
today, visited her again. she looked a little stronger and could take small steps. spoke with her as we watched tv. she told me she had dreamed of my dad last night. she said that in her dream, she and my dad were playing games. she asked for the time. and when i told her it was 1 plus, she gave a small sigh and said that being a weekend, there was no 1pm news. and then she added that my dad would always relate stories to her when he watched the 1pm news every day. she told me she missed my dad. kinda sad when i heard it. but it was understandable. having been married to him for more than 52 years, it must have been very difficult not to miss him after his demise.
i left my brother's place with a heavy heart.
