My grandmother passed away peacefully 2 nights ago. I was informed by my brother last night. Hmm, I was quite shocked. I know she was kind of sick lately, but I never got any chance to see her. I can't remember when was the last time we saw each other. Probably it was on last October, on Eid-ul-Fitr day. Yeah, seriously. And technically, she wasn't my grandmother because actually she was my father's aunt. But I was told that she was the one who raised my father, and I guess that was the reason why she was close to my family.
I had told myself that I wasn't gonna cry or think much about her because I'm on final exam week right now. In fact my mother didn't want to inform me about her death because she didn't want me to lose focus on my exam. I have to admit that I cried a little bit. Because I had a slightly special bond with her. I used to spend 1 week living with the 80++ year old lady and that was the time we got closer and closer. I remember she always asked me to massage her old bony body and she told me that I was a good masseur. I was surprised with the compliment because I didn't have any professional training whatsoever. And exactly 3 days ago, my mother told me that the old lady was sick and she wanted me to take care of her during my 1-week semester break. It was a personal request from her and I just agreed. In fact, I had it all planned well. I was going to shut myself off in the semester break for the sake of being with her. Sadly, she couldn't afford to wait for me.
I hope she will know that I miss her so much and how I regret that I didn't see her for such a long time. May Allah SWT will bless her soul. Rest in peace, Granny.

Sorry to hear of your loss. It's hard not to cry, but sometimes it's helpful to do so and let it out. Hang in there and be strong!

Cashmere: Insya Allah.. and I will try my best to stay focused.
Making Money @ Naye: I really wanna cry. Seriously. But I'm afraid once I start crying, it will last for several days. Thanks for your nice words.
Salam
Aku pun tiba2 terasa sedih sebab Tok embong dah takde..aku rasa sebab kita tak pernah jumpa mak Daddy, sebab tu aku cuba cari bayangan dia dalam Tok Embong. Sedih jugak. Dia selalu tanya pasal aku. Macam la aku ni cucu sulung dia.
I feel sorrow with you. It is a tough thing to lose a loved one. I have lost both my Parents,two brothers and a sister. The sorrow never gets less. My condolences my dear Tiara.
Tzah: Salam Jah. Aku memang sedih sangat. Walaupun die bukan nenek sebenar kita, tapi aku consider die nenek kita pasal die yg jaga Daddy.
Pulak tu aku baru jer start kenal die dengan rapat. Die seorang orang tua yang sangat sunyi. Kesian kat dia.
Sebab tu aku suka layan dia. Mengantuk macam mana pun aku layan jer dia. Tak faham aper2 pun aku layan gak. Conclusion is, aku sangat sedih.
Grampy: Thanks so much. This is the first time I feel so sad of losing someone. There is more to come, for sure.., someday.
Takziah yea Tiara... Good luck with your Exam.. Doakan dapat kejayaan yang cemerlang.. Aminnn :)
Thanks Nafim, for your wish. Good luck to you as well.
