the day she left.

17 august 2009, Monday @ 2323hrs my beloved grandmother left us all. She gasped her last 5 breathes very slowly and finally on her last breathe, she opened up her eyes effortlessly and had one good look at us all before she left this world.

18 august 2009, Tuesday. Today was her funeral. i really miss her so much now. i have never felt so much pain at one go in my life. doing her final rights prepared us to let her go. there was so much of tears shed today but i know my grandomther still lives within us. Although now we cant touch or smell her anymore...she's still around. God pls do take care of her.

i grew more attached to my grandmother ever since her last Operation. nursing her, built our bond. a bond so strong that no one could replace or take away. i feel very miserable yet blessed at the same time. i was given a chance to shower her and dress her up for the last time. i really miss u Aatha. i'm feeling so upset with everything. how i still wish this was all a bad dream..

18 august 2009, Tuesday 2015hrs. We came back to Aatha's house after going back for a shower. She now lives behind a glass framed photograph. i saw her framed photo with a oil lamp and her specs that we put on for her before that brought her to mandai crematorium. i can still hear them crying and shouting "govinda govinda.." i really miss her. my heart is so bruised with all that has happened.

and all i want Aatha to know is that "I love you very much and thank you so much for everything Aatha..And Aatha pls don't worry about amma, i will promise to take good care of her."
