Christmas was always a significant celebration in our household since I was young and mum was certainly elated that I was able to go to church with her.

我常在想应该再 也找不到
I always wonder that I might never find

someone like you that's so good to me
好到我的家人也被照料
So good that my family members are charmed by you
我的朋友还为你撑腰
and even all my friends support you
你还是有一堆毛病改不掉
You still have some short-comings that you can't change

I got a text from Dad in the morning at work on 19th July saying that my Paternal Grandfather had passed away last night. It wasn't that unexpected since I know that he had already been hospitalised a few days ago. But you know that feeling of denial and how you just get caught in a time frame?
