In Memory of My Beloved Gran



Indeed, a reminiscence of Tioman were what we gotten. We gave the trip a miss to stay on with my Gran.

At 5am on 27th July, we were pacing the floor of TTS hospital trying to decide whether to fight for her life by going into ICU or letting her go... little did we know that our strong Gran decided to strive on for another 10 days without that 'extra' help.

On the 5th, she held my hand and said she's too tired to go on and ask for a prayer for the Lord's embrace back to Heaven. Her constant nodding to the prayer reflected nothing but pure innocent trust....but this simple act of faith will forever etch in my memory. She departed peacefully at 1am on the 6th August 2007.

Another moment to remember was when Jerome said,"Bye... Tai Po." as the coffin was pushed through the door for cremation.... the first and last time he greeted her.

No worries, Gran... your story of faith and strength will be pass on to my two Js.
