We chanced upon a Catholic bookshop along Katong and I dropped in to get a gift for Adrian and family. They were baptized more than a month ago and I'd yet to get a gift for them.
Being in the shop brought back some memories of my Granny but I managed to keep my composure.
Right until the point when they started playing "Amazing Grace" over the sound system.
The same song that was played when we marched behind her hearse as it drove away from the Singapore Casket House.
The guy manning the cashier point must have felt awkward. I was tearing up as I paid for my item and was biting my lips. My brows were scrunched up and I think my face was somewhat contorted from the effort of stopping myself from crying in the store.
Completely let it go only when I stepped out of the shop.
Sigh. This coming Thursday will be the 49th day after her passing.
