Goodbye Grandma



Went back to Penang on the 12th of this month to see the final step of my beloved Grandma's journey....the closing of her ash cubicle. Thanks to Pamela, Johnnie, Mandy, Timmy and all those who live in the Northern side who whole heartedly chipped in to make this occasion a success....THANK YOU, THANK YOU....

The ceremony went on well....started with offering and prayers ( 5 monks ) before the final sealing process. Grandma's favourite articles were brought over by my Auntie Cheng from Sungai Petani for this special occassion....her specs, a jewellery box, etc.

The whole ceremony was concluded within an hour....simple and fast...REST IN PEACE GRANDMA...I will forever miss you and thank you for all the hugs and kisses and for the guidance in making me who I am today...thank you..

All of us ended up by going to lunch at a hawker square after the ceremony. It was a chance to catch up on the past and present BUT I somehow felt that it will be like the last dinner that Jesus had....meaning that it will be a very, very long time before we can sit together again.

Anyway, it will be a waste of e-space to write on unhappy bygones....what I know is that Grandma has journeyed on to a better place where she will be with the ones she loves, who will in turn love her back unconditionally.....

MAY THE LORD BLESS YOUR SOUL AND MAY HE KEEP YOU SAFE ALWAYS...REST IN PEACE GRANDMA
