I remember the calluses and cracks in the soles of my grandmother's feet as she was a believer in walking bare-footed and feeling the earth beneath here. There's some health benefit in not wearing shoes and going natural. I remember this sight, as my grandmother often piggy-backed me around the kampongs and around Singapore, with gratitude and joy.
