A call came in on 20 July 2008, 2:30am. I was not asleep yet. I opened my door and Empress Dowager was crying. It's really goodbye for now.
I waited while things got arranged. The kids were hurdling around. C asked me what happened. I did not know how to break the news.
When I finally saw you through the small glass window, still, souless...reality set in. Flashbacks to the last time I saw you smiling, talking and eating. WHY...I do not understand why. There were worst cases that pulled through. Your kindness does not deserve such an ending.
As the world continues to revolve, time stood still for all who care.
I know I should not grieve. I know that you are in a beautiful and painless place now. I know that you need morphine no more.
You have lived a short but meaningful life. I know that A will continue the journey for you. In time to come, she will be as kind and as beautiful as you were.
God bless your final journey aunt A...
