~ Mom's Journal ~
How do we know which particular item would bring back a memory? There were many but as I look through the old photographs that my sister showed me, the photo of our smiling father brings a memory. Amongst the photos is a postcard from my brother, AJ, to our father. My brother went to Sekolah Tuanku Abdul Rahman in Ipoh, Perak, and later to the United Kingdom to further his study.
We seldom or no longer write a letter or send a postcard nowadays. Hence, his postcard reminds me of the time when we wrote to our late father and we addressed him as "Ayahanda" and we refer to ourselves as "Anakanda". When we were in a residential school, we were always elated to receive any news from home, and without a doubt, a registered letter (surat berdaftar) from our father is a bonus!
