She wanted to go home...
About a mth ago, a primary 4 gal passed away because of a heart attack. She had always been a healthy young kid, there weren't any probs with her heart.
She left suddenly.
Just like tt.
Leaving her beloved parents and 2 sisters ( Primary 1 and Primary 6) behind.

When her sister was still ard, her sister wld accompany her (pri. 1 sister).. bought food for her and the sisters would enjoyed their meals together during the break.
After her sister left her, she tried v hard to get used to having recesses w/o her sister.
Today, during her recess, she suddenly tot of calling her father.
There were no special reasons or so, she din call her father to help her get the homework tt she has forgotten to put into her bag this morning.
She just felt like calling him.
She just want to listen to his voice.
Usually her father wld answer her calls, but he didn't answer this time round.
She began to feel flustered.
She immediately called her mother, who also nv failed to answer her calls whenever she called.
She waited and waited...
Again, there was no reply from the other line.
This time round, her heart sank.
The feeling of fear and helplessness gripped her once again.
And she cldn't help but cried.
She tot of the last person she could call...
her grandmother.
And this time round, a familiar voice finally answered the desperate call.
Her grandmother answered.
She was told tt her parents are busy working or for some reasons, they cldn't answer her call at tt time.
Before she hung up, she told her grandmother tt... she wanted to go home.
When recess ended, she went back to her class. She is a monitress and she had the responsibility to bring her classmates back to class.
Before she stepped into the class, she saw her elder sister (Pri. 6) waiting for her outside her class. Immediately, hot tears filled her eyes and she hugged her sister very tightly...
Perhaps at tt moment, she has forgottened about goin home already.
She only wanted to know tt there is someone whom she loved and who loved her as dearly.. is alwys there to give her some sort of assurance.
She needs to know tt they are still around...
She needs to know tt she can still reach out for them whenever she needs to...
She needs to know tt ppl dun alwys jus disappear..

My sister and I heard from Dad about this poor little gal and the emotional ride she went thru as she tried to deal with the loss of her sister.
We were at a loss of words.
I turned to look at my sister, who was sitting beside me in the car.
Her eyes were a little moist.
I tot i saw myself.
I hugged my sister and planted her a kiss.
