We almost missed each other. Well, not actually almost but on a day when this Singapore trip was supposed to reach a crescendo, she was held up at work. With time ticking down to my departure, I waited patiently for her arrival. Somehow I was not irritated, not flustered. Perhaps it is a job that was already done when I arrived in Singapore 13 days ago. I know the short one hour we can have together before I make my way to the airport is nothing compared to an eternity together. Perhaps it is this hope that made this trip especially enjoyable.
I thought I was the happiest man over the last few days. Then again, seeing my father's grins and the happy chatter between my mum and sister has made me realise how blessed me and my family are to have Xueyan in our midst. We took lots of photos at the airport and when it came to me crossing that "sacred line and glass window", there were no tears shed. Because the emptiness four months ago has been replaced by a fresh hope.
That this old man is no longer going to be alone, this old man has been blessed with the most wonderful woman.
