it's been a week since grandpa passed away
but we all still feel his presence
we are still talking about him as and when
and each time we do, tears just fall
we are really missing his everyday habits such as..
chasing grandma to cook dinner at 4pm
chasing us to take dinner at 5.30pm
looking and phoning for 2nd uncle if he is not home by 6pm after work
2nd uncle ended work late yesterday
grandma told us that if grandpa was still around, he is sure to call him upteen times
and true enough, when uncle came home
he told us that he teared when he was caught in the jam
as he said the same thing too, he was thinking if grandpa was still around
he would have received many calls while being caught in the jam
there are many other little things that remind us of him
especially grandma.. she cried when the clock strikes 4pm yesterday
and she said, since grandpa is gone now..
she doesnt have to cook that early..
we could all see she misses him alot alot...
though we all know that grandpa is considered very lucky and blessed
to be able to live to this age
and also to have a very peaceful death
and not forgetting the very crowded wake and funeral we had
but it is still painful to accept the fact..
the number of people who came to the wake and sent him off on the day of funeral can be said to be alot..
the four days of wake, we had like 100 plus people daily
and on the funeral day itself, there were more..
many people commented that grandpa is very blessed to be able to have all his children, grandchildren and great-grandchildren sending him off
be it at the hospital when we see him for the last time or at the funeral itself
on the day of the funeral, there were so many onlookers as we walked down from grandma's house to cantoment..
there were alot of people who took pictures of us and it was obvious that some onlookers were counting the number of family members then...
even uncle's friend counted
and said that grandpa had a total of 58 family members sending him off on tuesday
a very respectable grandpa whom i will always remember and miss...
now i guess we all have to be strong and be there for grandma
for she is now my only grandparent left...
i will do whatever it takes for her..
lastly, would like to thank all those who came down
karen, buddy, xiuxiang, zijing, biscuit, kelvin, samuel, isaac, sihui and mr.dthank you so much for coming down and be there when i needed you the most
it was really good to see all of you..

i will end here..
end of week again..
time seemed to pass quickly this week...
looking forward to seeing you over the weekends...
