A tribute to my paternal grandpa who passed away on Tuesday, 4 Aug 2009:

Dear Ah Gong

Thank you for being my grandpa. Though you are a man of few words, but you are always there watching us (the grandkids since we are young). And every CNY, you would be eager to see us and prepare the angpows for us.

Thank you for watching us growing us. We all love you!


Though I am very sad that my ah-gong is unable to make it to see my little one. But it's truly a mirracle that he managed to survive thru for the past 3 years. Earlier on he was diagnosed with stroke and later, doc told us that 80% of his lungs had harden, meaning he has to pump blood to function every month and less than a year survival. He managed even to pass thru my wedding and 2 Chinese New Year. But weeks ago, he cant hold it anymore, lungs are totally not functioning well. We have to be mentally prepared. With N1H1 spreading widely, even in mid Jul, I was told by my mum not to visit him in the hospital with my preggie condition, I never regret going against her and my stubborness. I managed to see ah-gong for once.

On Tues evening, I finally saw a message sent by my cousin at 1pm plus that ah-gong cant make. I called my mum and she told me ah gong passed away peacefully at home after 2 times rescue in the hospital, completing his wish to 'go' at his own house. I cried.. Why am I late? But thinking back, I also know ah-gong wont want me to be over upset with my little one.

Thank you ah-gong for your love, I will always remember you and your kindness!
