We welcomed a brand new year peacefully.. just the both of us.
It all started in 2004 when the heartwrenching news about daddy first broken in the supposedly joyous & festive month. I was crying everyday & the only comfort was having hubby (then boyfriend) with me. That year's Christmas/New Year, we spent most time at home... I wanted to be near daddy. Same in 2005 but, already, daddy had to spend the New Year & Lunar New Year in hospital.
Since then, we would prefer to spend the Eves this way... as long as we have each other, celebration in any form is a bonus. May sound cliché to many but this is exactly how we feel.
Perhaps it's due to the fact that I'm still very much reminded of the unforgettable past in 2004, 2005 & of course 2006's CNY. Perhaps deep down in my heart, I'm too concerned about mum having to spend these nights by herself. Though she didn't show it at all or join us in the living room, I believe it feels good to know that you're not alone at home during those joyous occasions.
I'm just too thankful to God that Vince is someone who prefers to spend couple time. Or maybe he's just being very understanding & supportive.
Who knows one day, we might change the style of celebrating?
And to think that Michelle & David lost their mum on Christmas Day (just past midnight)... it could have been even harder for them.
