I will be here - Steven Curtis Chapman

I remember this song from my sister's wedding, and found this on huzh blog.

It brings back a lot of memories, memories of times when I was young, when all 6 of us squeezed in bedok. Its strange how now suddenly all of us grew up and led our own lives. But no matter what happens, all 6 of our lives are interlinked. No matter what quarrels we had, whatever unhappiness that existed between us, whatever misunderstandings that we went through, we could never forget how we are linked. We are linked through memories, memories of how we sang together, how we had secrets form one another, how we shouted at one another, how we had durians on a huge bed, how we always went to our favourite seafood restaurant and ordered a big spread, how we participated in each other's lives.

I remember the night I cried on my sis wedding. And the night on my bro wedding. Each of us had to move on with our lives, and as much as I would like to do so, I am wondering if I really could. Seeing each other only once a week? Eating home cooked food only once a week? Exotic fruits only once a week?

I know its not easy to move on, but hey, if life wasn this way, I wouldn have got my wonderful nephews and nieces. These little kids would never have came along to brighten up all our lives again. As all of us move on, more and more people will be here for me.

I think I can live with that.
