Today 28/04/2010 at 4.08pm, our beloved Granny left us.
I recieved a call from mummy about going to 1pm saying that Granny is in pain and wants to see us all. My one plan for this day is just to be by her side, embracing whatever moments I'm left with her. I was all ready to head out, took a cab and went over to Granny's place.
The house was quiet, everyone look solemn. Ganny was fast asleep, but as I enter her room, she woke up. She asked me if I'm working...Where did I come from...The last things she said to me was, It's been a long time since I last went to visit her at home. I remember last christmas I was at Genting thus missing the annual christmas celebration and Lunar New Year eve I was working thus missing the Reunion Dinner and I only went over for just a little while on the second day.
I heard from Ah mei Jie that, her right lung had collapes and the cancer cell had spread. After which she will be fetching Father over for prayers and confession at 4pm.
It's only at 2.30pm and Daddy had to hand his car over and get his new car at 3pm. Thus wanted to fight with time, Daddy, Mummy and me went over for the cars hoping to return after Father has arrival.
About 4.30pm on our way back to Granny's place, Mummy recieved a call from Ah Sheng kor that Granny had left us. The whole car went silence, staring in blanks I was and back to the rear mirror I saw daddy's eyes really red, holding his tears back as his drove and swallowed. Asking mum if she still wants to head over. Yes.
Upon reaching downstairs, I don't know if it's the new car or it's Daddy's mind in a mess that he couldn't really get his car parked well into the lot. But anyway, Daddy took bigger strides to the lift and to Granny's unit. Stood outside the door held himself together and went in together with Mummy. I heard Ah Mei Jie said that she went away at 4.08pm.
Granny is sound asleep with her hands holding together over her chest. God Bless.
Father came in time and I believe she has met almost everyone she wants to meet before she took her last breath.
It's also believe that she saw Mother Mary and walks away with Mother. As they saw her making her last prayers with her eyes wide open staring at blanks, holding her hand together and pulling them to her chest, closing her eyes and breathe her last breath.
