Nana (Mum’s side) has gone to Heaven 2 days ago. After much of struggling, she has passed away on Tuesday evening at 10pm. She has been sick for quite a few years. I remember visiting her during every Chinese New Year and for the first few years, she can remembered who I was but then she will asked again “Who Are you?” after 10 minutes later. Although she couldn’t remember much about the present day but she remembered every detail about my childhood. She will always comment it later that how fast I have grown up but hardly remember that I just visited her the day before.
This year, she has been really sick. She was lying on her bed 24/7 and required a lot of assistance with her daily activities. Mum has been visiting her on and off and taking turn to take care of her with my other Aunties. She has total of 11 kids. One son and ten daughters. 2 of her daughters were given away when they were babies. Although we managed found one of them but couldn’t locate the other one.
Grand-dad passed away almost 23 years ago. Now, she is together with him in the comfort of GOD’s hand.
Almost 10 years ago, my Grand-Father (Dad’s side) passed away when I was still studying in NZ. It came to me as a shock because I remembered him on the day I left M’sia and flew to NZ for my study. I always thought that I will see him again when I’m back for the 1st year of studying. I was very upset then. I spent a lot of time with him when I was young.
4 years ago, my dearest Grand-Mother passed away out of sudden as well. It breaks my heart because she is the Greatest Grand Mother anyone could ever have. She is always very generous with her love to all her grandchildren and has been fair with anybody. However, I know I was her favourite grand son. She used to bought me heaps of stuff and always ensure that I’m not running out of money. When she was sick, I couldn’t make it to see her for the very last time. I missed her a lot and I wish she is still alive so that I could spend more time with her.
Family is always there for you. Life is too short and it is very important to spend anytime that you have with them. If you couldn’t be there all the time, a phone call will simply make their days and yours.
