I am gonna miss you lots, Grandma.... I love you very much....

My grandma passed away on 9 June 2007 (Saturday) at 0344hrs at Mount Elizabeth hospital. After being hospitalised for exactly 2 weeks, she passed away very peacefully on that fateful day. Nobody, except for 2 of my many cousins, got to send her off. These 2 cousins have never been exceptionally close to Grandma, so there weren't wailing or screaming when Grandma slowly stopped breathing.

My cousins called us in the wee hours of the night and immediately we rushed down to the hospital. Halfway to the hospital, Mummy called one of them, and was told that Grandma did not wait for any of us to arrive. My only guess is that she couldn't bear to see us in such a painful state.

I reached the hospital ward, and couldn't believe what was in front of my eyes. Grandma looked as though she was sleeping. I held her hand and it was still warm, and I really couldn't believe that Grandma had left us. I held onto her hand very tightly and wished that she would hold me back. Her hand turned cold slowly and I wanted so very much to hug Grandma. However I had to bear in mind my Mummy and Auntie would sob even harder if they see me do that, so I had to hold my actions.

It's hard, extremely hard to face the fact that Grandma has left us. Grandma's body has been cremated, and it has been more than a week since that fateful day Grandma passed away... But I feel as though it was all a dream. Still feels as though I will see Grandma sitting at that very sofa at her home, still feels as though I need to go down to the hospital to visit Grandma, still feels as though I can hug her anytime I want, or cut her toenails for her, or buy sushi for her every Saturday afternoon.

It's painful, the pain is excruciating and unbearable and undescribable. I have to stop now, my tears are flowing into a river. I love you Grandma, now and always will.....
