Whilst I am trying to finish a number of blog entry simultaneously to atone for not writing for the past six months, I thought I put up this letter written by my sister regarding one called Titi… It is sad yet funny at the same time. Really the love of a mother knows no bounds….
Dear Mak Long, Uteh, Andak & Usu
It is with great sadness that we inform you of the rapid decline of Titi's health.
This morning, while waking up the kids for school, Mommy and Papa discovered that Melur's Titi had fallen off of Melur's bed during the night and gotten stuck to the night lamp. Titi now has a rather large and black burnt patch - slightly larger than a 50-cent coin. Compounded with her overall poor health, we believe that it is time to put her to rest rather than have her suffer for a prolonged duration.
Without saying, Melur is totally devastated with the possibility of losing her beloved Titi who has been her friend for over 6 years. She broke into tears upon seeing the black patch and asked, "How am I going to go to sleep if I don't have Titi?" As parents, Mommy and Papa are extremely proud of Melur's conscientious nature as a student ... Obviously she is worried that without Titi's companionship, she will not be able to fall asleep at night. Hence, it will be difficult for her to wake up early for school. To ease Melur's anxiety, Mommy promised to: (1) Bring Melur back to Malaysia in an airplane, (2) Replace Titi with a new one of the same color and size, and (3) Put the old Titi in a nice box and place the box underneath Melur's bed.
As close family members, I urge all of my dear siblings to keep a watchful eye while they roam between the walls of the various shopping malls in Malaysia. If you ever stumble upon a Titi, please do not hesitate to make a purchase. View this as one of those rare opportunities in your life to make a purchase that Mak will not frown on. Also remember, that even though Melur fondly describes her Titi as gray in color with pink bottom frills... Her Titi is actually PINK with a darker shade of pink bottom frills... We will be happy to reimburse you for the cost of this purchase although you will be gently reminded that Mommy is currently unemployed... and we have Maman to feed (almost constantly).
Thank you for your best wishes.
Sincerely,
Mommy
On behalf on Papa, Melur, and Maman from Vancouver
PS) Arman's Titi is yellow... which unfortunately is also experiencing a decline in health. We do not wish to elaborate further on this matter since Arman requests that we respect his privacy and allow him to grieve in silence. However, please also make another purchase if you stumble upon a yellow Titi...
