i've lost my aunt. =(
someone i hold respect for, the one everyone respects.
for her love of her husband, her sons, her parents, her family, her friends and all around her.
despite the painful suffering that she went through because of cancer,
she never failed to shower love, care and concern.
having battled with cancer the past 12 years, she had fought well to the end.
even in her last days, she never gave up.
she held on despite the pain, despite the suffering and all.
all these for her sons and family whom she loved dearly.
she passed on peacefully and she no longer needs to be in pain and she no longer need to suffer.
i'll never forget the times,
the times when i used to stay-over at her place to play with my cousins,
the times she kept me company while i slept in my cousins room.
the times she reminded me not to be afraid when i had a terrible cough that led me to take big breaths while my parents were both oveseas.
of all the times she took notice of the little things i said and remembered.
that particular time when i said i heard that the new mentos sweet is nice and she bought it for me and passed it to me the next day for me to eat it during my attachment.
of all the times, she showed her care and concern for me.
and something that we'll definitely remembered her for,
for her thoughtfulness,
for remembering each and everyone of our birthdays.
i'll always remember her for her thoughtfulness, her love for people and her bravery and courage in battling the illness for the past 12 years.
tonight's gonna be the last night.
i hope that i wont break down during the cremation tomorrow.
dear God, please keep me strong to go through this.
please bring comfort to my cousins and my uncle and bring them through this difficult period.
please bring comfort to my grandparents, my parents, brother, my uncles and aunt and all who loves my dear aunt.
please bless my aunt who may have passed on but has left us memories of her we will never forget. amen!
