Grandma

It's always when we lost someone when we realised how much we appreciate them. We tend to take thing for granted and until the day came, then memory of the past started to flash back on us. It's on that very time when we started to miss the person so dearly.

I last visited her last month at her home. She looks tired and ill. I was quite busy with my new home but somehow managed to take some time to go back and visit her. I must say that I am truly glad that I did that. It's then after pass few week that she has left the world. Seriously, I was shocked to receive the bad news from my dad on Sunday morning.

Thursday morning will be her last journey on earth and she will return back with God. I will be back on Wednesday night and will be sending her off on Thursday morning 11am. Wednesday will be the last day to mourn for her death.

When death happens at our near relative, we started to think how fragile life could be. Somehow we will only remember it for a few weeks then we easily tend to forget that life is so fragile. We tend to forget how beautiful the day was, how green the leaf is and how blue the skies are. We need to press pause in our life sometime to think of all this and to be grateful that we still could still breath the air.

To Grandma, I am sorry that I only visited you no more than 5 fingers per year. Please bless and guide us from the above. We will always miss you dearly....

最近也常思考身边的老人,我们是否有为他们所剩无几的岁月做了些什么?
我想他们最快乐和需要的应该是和亲人聚在一起。
