{ For My Maternal Grandmother }
It was 6.30am on Saturday morning. 8:55 PM • Wednesday, April 20, 2011
The ride to the hospital was a mad rush for us.
Grandmother passed away.
At the age of 83, she had overcome numerous crisis, including the death of a grandchild that was not supposed to happen, a heart bypass, diabetes etc..
I will always remember how she smelt so nice, looked so clean and pretty..
The last time I saw her, was unfortunately on CNY.
The biggest regret I ever had, was not able to spend valuable time with her even though she was staying so near to me..
The crematation ceremony was the hardest to bare. Seeing in front of our eyes, her coffin, pushed into the burner and turned into bones.
But her bones were beautiful, with flowers on some parts and mentioned by the bone collector, due to her strict regimen of chanting Buddhist prayers everyday without fail.
For she maybe gone, she will always live inside our hearts as the gracious and selfless woman, who bore my mother, aunties and uncles.
She survived 4 generations, a feat difficult to achieve for someone who had such a long medical history.
May she be blessed and look upon us. Blessing her future generations in good health.
Thank you grandma!
Welcome.
Loves.
My Blahs Blahs and Your Blahs Blahs
