I was awakened by my mom on thirsday morning 11 sept 2008 at 10 am...I was dazed from lack of sleep but I could make out what she was saying...Something bout gg to the hospital early for my grandmother's operation...
She went off first and said that i will go with my dad later..But at 12 pm,she called and told me to get ready..My brother will come back from work and we will go together with my dad...she was in critical condition...
by the time i reached,i only see my mom and my aunt and they were crying..
doc said we had no choice cos she was too weak..so the only way was to keep injecting some medicine to keep her alive till all my relatives came..until then we had to just wait......
i held onto her hand and kissed her cheek while my bro kissed her forehead at the other side of the bed...i hate crying...
finally all my grandmother's children except for one arrived..just when the last one arrived,15 minutes after seeing her son,my grandmother passed away at 3+pm...
her body was taken to the mortuary..we collected it and our families spent the night at my aunt's house...
the next morning,she was buried at Chua Chu Kang cemetery..the place was beautiful..
atleast she managed to see all her children and grandchildren before leaving...
Im going to miss her smile..
Im going to miss her angry face..
Im going to miss her talking about ghost stories on my bed while we were going to sleep..
Im going to miss her nagging at me to be more womanly and help out at the kitchen..
Im going to miss her offering of food to me whnenever i was with her..
Im especially going to miss her warmth as she held onto my arm whenever i hav to escort her to somewhere...
i still cried at night when i thought about the days while she stayed at my house..she looked so cute sitting at the side of the bed while trying to read the medicine prescriptions...
or when she slowly walked back and fro in my house...
im still crying when i typed this out but after this,the tears will go away and only the memories will remain..
I love you granny even though i never say or act like it.....
