Just heard the news that my 1st nanny has passed away last Tuesday due to a traffic accident oppposite her flat. It came as a surprise as we do not keep in regular contact anymore...but I would always remember the love and care that she showered on me those days...
She doted on me because she has 2 sons, I was the daughter she never had. She started looking after me when I came to S'pore when I was 2 years old. Apparently, she was the one who taught me to speak in mandarin. She stopped being my nanny when I was 7 after they moved house.
We are saddened to know of her passing, and only after her funeral, in addition, her husband was uncontactable and away on holiday during that period. He only knew of her death today, 1 day later than us...
We went to visit them this evening...it was strange to see my 大哥哥 & 小哥哥 (how I address her 2 sons) after so many years. I absolutely won't know its them if we had met on the streets.
Indeed, life is fragile...we should drive carefully...
