the passing of a loved one...

Uncle has finally moved on... tuesday, 20th Jan... the end of his suffering... the start of our missing... the funeral was a painful one with lots of tears and heartache...i took time off to spend time with my sister in law... make sure she gets enough time to rest... sister in law couldn't let go and fainted during one of the last rituals... it's hard i suppose.. i could just imagine how hard is it for me to part with my own parents...

but to be on a positive note, uncle is in a better place where he will be able to cook his favourite dishes and share with many others in the other world... he will be free from pain and all the dietary restrictions, needles and everything... he will be watching his grandson grow up from above and smiling to himself at how fortunate that he has been to even have spent time with the small one...

other than my sister in law who has been crying her heart out, our maid, tuti has also been softly crying away during those few days... nobody noticed her until i asked if she was fine... she spent all her waking hours with uncle since the first day she arrived here and yes, we have all forgotten that she needs support too...

whatever it is, rest in peace.... we shall meet again...

I'm so sorry to hear this Kate. Like you said, he's in a better place, although that doesn't make any of us left behind feel any better. {{{hugs}}}
