I miss my mother. I missed her this Christmas, this New Year’s Eve/Day. I miss her on every occasion, great or small. I miss her every single day. While swaying awkwardly self-consciously to the music, I observed my dad and brothers, who were also swaying awkwardly. We were at THE New Year Countdown Wedding of Penang in E&O Hotel. I looked around, and saw most of our closest family friends on the dance floor as well. I was struck by what can only be described as the plunging of a barbed arrow into my chest, the horrid twisting of said arrow and the pulling out of said arrow out of my chest, wrenching out my soul as it exits my body. Not the very best of feelings I can assure you. It passed, thankfully. Picture of the popper that failed to pop.
