A sad occasion

Early morning, the phone rang. Recently, a phone ring means that it's going to be bad news. My grandfather has been hospitalised just before CNY. His cancer cells has spread to his whole body and doctor said it's only a matter of time now.

So, yesterday, almost all of us went to see him at the hospital and this morning, he left for the other world.

Arranging funeral at the start of the new year is what everyone hope to avoid, but things still happened and things still need to be done. We went down to our oldest uncle's place and waited for my grandfather's body to arrive. The body arrived and then we waited for the coffin to arrive. Everyone paid our last respect to Ah gong and the coffin was sealed.

Some of us cried, some didnt. I guess it's really how close you are to a person which moved you to tears. Life is really so fragile, we come with nothing and we leave with nothing.
