Love isn't just for lovers. It's in friends, fleeting moments, family, the breeze, your favorite meal. Loving life in all its forms makes the heart lighter.

I broke a drinking glass today. It shattered into pieces. Immediately I thought of the many times we broke glass plates, bowls, and cups at home. Dad would rushed to the kitchen, he would be annoyed and sometimes angry. But he’d clean it, he’d not let us do it, he’d said it’s sharp, it’s broken glasses, and to be careful not to get cut. Sometimes he’d just shooed us out of the kitchen.

I am sad when I think about how I’ll never have this person who’d immediately springs into action whenever something goes wrong.

I picked up the big pieces of the broken glasses, one by one. Got cut by 1 tiny, sharp piece. There was blood and pain. Then I vacuumed the remaining. I was thinking of how I never really have to do this before— because Dad or Mum or my siblings would do it, and when I am staying by myself, I never did break any glasses. At least until now, what a timing.

I don’t have your confidence, I don’t have your strength, I don’t have your generosity, I don’t have your steadfastness, I don’t have your boldness, I don’t have your commanding presence, I don’t have your unwavering faith, I don’t have your pride, I don’t have your athletic excellence, I don’t have your fluency with languages. But you taught me protective love, family unity, courage, loyalty, passion, independence and spirituality. I have your competitiveness, I have your rigidity, I have your dark skin, I have your forehead.

I couldn’t think of any more similarities between you and I. It makes me a little sad but then I’ve always known that we are different. It’s alright because I have your blood in my veins, forever.
