My mum rocks

Remember the song we used to love singing when we were young?

世上只有妈妈好，
有妈的孩子像个宝，
投进妈妈的怀抱，
幸福享不了。

世上只有妈妈好，
没妈的孩子像根草，
离开妈妈的怀抱，
幸福哪里找。

It didn't used to invoke any feeling in me when I sang it in primary school.
Today, I realized how powerful this song can be in making me and the people around me be overwhelmed with emotions when it was played in grandma's funeral.

I hope that mum would not keep losing sleep.
There is this part of the ritual whereby my mum and her siblings have to shout 'mum' and their blessings to her. The way they did it brought tears to my eyes instantly. I can never erase that few moments from my memory.
