In Living Memory of My Grandma

She is gone. Gone to the Heaven. My ma ma's sufferings have finally come to an end. I can't feel her anymore but I know she will be happy up there. I wanted her to be in my dreams, so that I can talk to her. I tried and tried but she didn't appear. Sending her off to her final journey is the hardest thing to do. I kept looking at her inside the coffin to capture her image inside my head permanently. I tried to stay up as late as possible at the wake as I was afraid that the day to send her off would be nearing once I sleep.

Fond memories of her made me miss her even more. I find it hard to sleep, so I cry myself to sleep. My family is sad, so are my uncles and aunties, cousins. I dare not cry in front of my parents. I'd hide in my bedroom and cry with no one to turn to.

Goodbye, Ma Ma. I know you're in a happier place now and that you'll protect each and everyone of us. I will always love you and remember all the sweetest things that you've done for us.
