My Final Goodbye To You

29 July 2016         8.02pm

That was my last ride. The last time you fetched me from Point A to B. The last time before your owner is no longer us. The last goodbye that almost broke my heart.

You have been there for me since the very start, from Primary 1 until now.

You were there to bring me to most, if not all of my tuition classes.

You were there when I received my PSLE results.

You were there to celebrate with me when my results came back.

You were there to fetch Grandma to where she wanted to go.

You were there to bring me to the hospital to visit Grandma in her final months.

You brought me from HIPS to NCHS.

You brought me to Malaysia, my first 'road trip'.

You were there, every morning and most of the time, after school, to either bring me to school or to bring me home.

You were my touchstone, the one thing that didn't change even when I lost so many loved ones. How could I ever forget how Emily came down to you every morning with her brothers and pressed your horn. How could I ever forget the joy that you brought me, the convenience that came with your existence.

I lost Grandma, and that was hard enough to deal with, no that was terrible to deal with.

But now, I lost you.

You started and ended my day. I saw you every day. Nothing will ever be the same again.

Nothing will ever be the same, ever again.

Thank you, for always being there, for bringing me so much joy, for bringing me so much convenience. Thank you, for being in my life.

Although it really pains me to let you go, I hope your next 5 years will be as joyful as the 9 years you spent with me, and then it truly will be goodbye.

Peacing Out,
