what follows death?
after struggling for the final 4 days in hospital, my grandma passed away. i'm glad that it took such a short time, that she did not have to suffer so much. i regretted not being persistence enough to persuade her to come to KL for her follow-up check, which partly caused her death. but i am more concern about those who she left behind, my granpa, my mom and my relatives. it's heart clenching to see my grandpa cried and remain quiet in his age of 87, he must have missed her so much although he told my relatives that he's okay and he was prepared for all these. grandpa and grandma used to argue and fight, but i guess that's their way of communication and it definitely did not mean they don't love each other. they are 2 different ppl, my grandpa was educated, left-wing, soft-spoken and very rational, my grandma on the other hand was a housewife, illiterate, loud and jolly... according to "modern" yardstick, they can never be a happily married couple, but they were married for more than 60 years with 10 children and more than 60 grandchildren and greatgrandchildren. no doubt there are sad moments during the funeral, but it was also fill with laughters and reunions. we joked and chatted beside prayers and remembrance. yes, human is mortal, death is inevitable, and i'm sure my grandma has passed away happily and with no regret, coz see what she has left behind -- a big happy family and our good memories about her. aren't that enough?
