To the Faithful depart.
its been 2 years since she died.
2 years.
and i still remembered clearly how she had collapsed.
how i last saw her drew her last few breathes.
before she fell into her deep slumber.
how paled she had looked lying on that bed.
with her eyes closed.
i didnt wanna believed it at first.i refused too.
i believed that she was strong.
and that it was too early for her to leave us.
she has always been there for us.
how cld she possibly leave now?
she promised us that shes gona be there.
watch us grow.
be there for our weddings.
how shes gona interrogate our husbands.
and how shes gona take care of our babies.
in future.
i even thought i saw her grinning while she was in that coma.
was juz waiting for her to wake up and tell us its juz a prank.
but then slowly we saw her very life slipped away.
the only thing that kept her going was a machine.
it was the hardest thing to do.
letting her go.
but let her go, we did.
her funeral was a mental turmoil.
everyone cldnt accept the fact that the very soul and life of the family had to go first.
she was the closest to us.
and she left.
juz like that.
her presence is still very much missed in this family.
even after 2 years.
she has always been the 2nd mother to us.
no more phone calls.
no more screaming at me to get off the net so that she can get thru calling my house..
no more late night outs to chong pang to drink soya bean.
no more morning market trips with her.
no more scolding from her on what a lazy pig im at home.
no more Boyfren enquiries from her.
no more.no more.no more.
its been quiet for 2 years already.
and i missed her tremendously.
in the midst of my hectic life,
i have the tendency to wonder abt her now and then.
i wonder how she is now.
i hope shes fine.she should be.
being the good person that she was.
her presence is still very much felt in this house.
she was and will always be my favourite aunt.
no one can ever replaced that.
may her soul rest in eternal peace,god-willingly.
