Mama, why do you need to scrapbook?

I have been pretty busy scrapbooking these few days. With only about a month left before heading back to Singapore, I don't really have much time to complete my project.

I  was too caught up in it that Nana questioned why there's a need to scrapbook. As I was cutting the pieces of cards, I casually told her that I did all this specially for her and Zac... for memory's sake so that they can always remember all the special moments that has happened in their lives. Then I heard a sniffle from behind my back. Nana was crying, and I had no idea why. When asked what happened, she replied, "Mama, but I don't want you and papa to die. I'll miss you..."

I was so touched that tears just started welling up in my eyes. She cried even more when I explained that this is life... everyone grows old and will eventually go.

My dearest Nana, you'll soon understand all this. Meanwhile, enjoy your carefree childhood sweetie...
