Sadness

The last week has been hectic and emotionally taxing. My grandmother passed away in her sleep. She was 88. I was in school on that tuesday afternoon, discussing project with frens, when all of a sudden i receive a phonecall fr my sister to faster rush back to my grandma house coz something happened to ah ma (wat i usu call my grandma). So, i immediately end my discussion and took a cab back. Den, as i call back, my uncle told me "ah ma no more already" - she has passed away. How can this be? last nite, i was still watching the national day parade on tv with her. In fact, she was still q alert still know my name and differentiate me n my bro (this is no mean feat considering she has failing eyesight and some of my frens cant even do that). The only thing unusual about her the prior few days is that she keep sleeping.
She has always been a strong and firm woman who stands her ground very well - headstrong.
She cares for her children and always
In a way, i m glad that she passed away peacefully without much suffering and pain. This sets me into a very reflective mood that how somebody can just disappear all of a sudden. I will certainly miss her presence as she just lives a few block away from me and i always go there for dinner. I am also glad that i led her to sinners' prayer b4 thus at least i m assured that she is in heaven rite nw.

This whole episode though sadden me lots but has nonetheless reinforced my belief to live life to the fullest. In about 2 months since i am back, so many many things happened. Life is short, before u noe it, all the moments will have just go past you. Cherish them, be it sad or happy.
