LOVE <3something unknowingly compelled me to blog about this.
today, my family and I had a wonderful opportunity to have dinner with my ah gong and ah ma ( mother's father and mother) at the renown boon tong kee ( it's the famous chicken rice restaurant chain set up by my mother's uncle's wife family. bet you didnt know that! ). through out the 2h spent with them, I was amazed by how loving they were in the littlest of actions. like how my ah gong would put his walking stick together with hers, neatly against the wall, how my ah ma would always help my ah gong to cut his food into smaller and easier parts for him to eat ( as my ah gong had stroke, which resulted in disability of his left body).
at such a ripe old age, growing old together, makes me admire their love for each other. that really is LOVE. not the mushy, romantic, cheesy love but one that allows two people to stay together despite the many missing teeth, wrinkled & saggy skins, loss of hair....
*" love never gives up. love cares more for others than for self. love doesnt want what it doesnt have. love doesnt strut, doesnt have a swelled head, doesnt force itself on others, isnt always "me first," doesnt fly off the handle, doesnt revel when others grovel, take pleasure in the flowering of truth, puts up with anything..."
I hope that in the future, I would be able to be just like them((: that is, my friends, LOVE.
* reference, the message bible 1 corinthians 13: 4-7.
