Dear Raphael,

As usual, i spent my saturdays with grandma and gong gong.... like how we used to spend with them. Today, they fried your favourite crackers... wished you were here with us. Gong gong was explaining the process in detail.. and i know you would have love to hear gong gong talk about the oil.. the heat.. the temperature in which to put it.....and i can even picture you or even hear your voice... asking him questions.... about it..... sigh....... We really miss you.

I have to break the dried crackers in small pieces before we deep fried it. I can visualise you breaking it with me.... and watching how the little pieces of dry crackers turn into big pieces.. crunchy and crisp in the oil.....

Grandma said that you would have love to eat it immediately... Gong gong said yes... you would have..... I just smiled sadly... maybe one day... maybe one day..

Loving you lots,

Mommy
