ok.. just a little update.. Last week was one of grief for me and my extended family due to the passing of my grandmother after a massive stroke. It was a rude shock for all of us since it was rather unexpected. I do feel a sense of loss, never again will i get to sit around in my grandparents' living room lazing around while she sits in her chair fanning herself (the fan was usually sandalwood or straw), never again will i have the chance to try and make her laugh (i liked to kachiow her and she'd give me a small smack on the arm in mock anger), never again will i get to fetch her shoes, hold her hand and bring her to the car to go have porridge (this i very much regret cos i had been busy in the recent weeks and didn't go), never again will i feel her hands kneading my palms to see if they were fleshy or not (fleshy palms signify a good life), also, never again will i hear her calling me a wrong name cos her memory wasn't really good since 2 yrs ago (i always found that endearing even though health-wise its not so good). There's really a lot i'd miss about her... However, despite all of this, i really hope she's in a better place now, free from her health problems.. Having had all those memories of her embedded in my mind, i guess she'll always be alive in my heart. I hope you rest in peace Mah Mah =) |
