bye bye weekend...bye bye...

hello dear friends,
how's your weekend? hope it was lovely...
i'm at a loss as to what to post.
but i know that i want to post something...
something meaningful...
i was just surfing the internet, reading various blogs, news and articles...
looking for something meaningful to post...
there are lots of recipes that i could post...
lots of design stuff to post too...
lots of pictures in my iphoto...
there are lots of good articles that tell one how to live life better too...
but nothing like this (days with my father by philip toledano) which i've posted before, speaks most closely to what's in my heart right now...so i'm posting it again...
Lizzie's great grandma, has just passed on...
She is 91 years old.
we are very sad that we have not made more effort to spent more time with her.
we should have spent more time talking to her even though she didn't seem to respond very much due to dementia.
though she often sits in the centre of the living room with family members around her, she seemed lonely, detached and unengaged.
now that she is gone, our hearts are burdened with lots of regrets.
may it be a stern reminder that we ought to treasure our relationships...even when it is very difficult...
we should spend more quality time with our loved ones especially our parents and the other older folks in the family...
life does not go on and on...
one day, God will take it, and we will have to account for it.
