I once saw a photo of my grandmother. She was a classic beauty with delicate feminine features. It was an old black and white photo of her directly looking at the camera. She looked sad and lost, yet noble.
I think she must have been in the same emotional place as Leslie Cheung...Trapped without another escape route. She left in a hurry, too. Left many little ones behind.
I think of her, here and there, and wish that I could have been there for her on her last day. I would have held her and told her that I loved her anyhow, and read her this poem...
"I think over again my small adventures.
My fears,
Those small ones that seemed so big,
For all the vital things I had to get and reach.And yet there is only one great thing,
The only thing,
To live to see the great day that dawns
And the light that fills the world."
