Hey dear, Mrs MM Lee passed away peacefully on 2nd Oct. It was a sad day for many, including me. She's the woman behind our founding father, Mr Lee Kuan Yew. As Mr Lee had said, it's with her support, looking after the household that he can concentrate on building Singapore.
Was watching a TV tribute on Channel 8 for Mrs Lee. It warms my heart, watching many snippets of the lovely old couple, showing simple concern and affection for each other; holding hands, teasing each other, wiping perspiration off his forehead.
I really really envy them; they have taught us the importance of marriage and the meaning of the marriage vow:"Till Death Do Us Part"... I'm sure he's now torn, tormented by the thought that he'd lost someone so special, so important, so close in his life.
The pain is immeasurable, emotions erupt... but slowly.. warm thoughts of the past starts to flow; ever so lightly to ease the pain.
I like the part which Mr MM Lee quips, in one of his usual witty speeches:
"Western Way: Marry the Woman you Love. The Eastern Way: Love the Woman you Marry" He's glad that he did both.
And I must say I'm as glad as him...
