My beloved grandfather passed away on 16th Nov'05 at the age of 81.
Everyone was sad, especially at the day of the funeral held @ St Joseph Cathelic Church. Parting of our love ones can be so mournful. Tat was the 1st time i witnessed my aunts & uncles helding back to the tears in their eyes when the prayer were read out. The ambience was so grief-stricken in the church, it was so unbearable for us to part wif him. I kept telling myself that my grandpa would be going to place, a paradise or a heaven. He would have no worries, a happy life after death... However, the fact that we r still humans, the emotions in us couldnt help but blown us down.
The moment when my grandpa's coffin was entering the burner at the Mandai Crematorium was so vividly captured in my mind. Everyone was reciting the Rosary and praying for him painstakingly from the bottom of our hearts, while we witnessed his last journey before leaving this world.
My 3rd aunty couldn't take the painful moment anymore and she collasped n fainted. We were all devastated as we were all too sad and sorrowful to think of anything. My cousin, Patrick carried her mom to rest at one of the stone benches. The sight of her sympathy look made us felt so unbearable. Some of us cousins really broke down and started weeping, so did the rest of my aunties and uncles. The tear drops in their eyes just couldnt stayed any longer but flown out apparently. And so did mine.... It was the saddest moment in my life..... May God bless my grandfather and let him rest in peace....
Now, all that i can keep with me were the sweet memories tat i had wif my Grandpa John.... Although he is gone but he shall live in my heart Forever....
