The ups and downs in life

This year is supposed to be an exciting year for us as we prepare for our big day this coming dec. However, there has been many ups and downs in life and moments that left me wanting to cherish the people around me even more. Aug is usually one of my favourite month of the year. But this 16th Aug, my maternal Grandma has left us to be in the good hands of the Lord.

It was heart wrenching. Although we were all aware that she was going to leave us anytime soon especially when her health deteriorated earlier this year...we still felt really really sad when she left. It was the first time I ever witness a loved one passing away right in front of my eyes. The lost of life was quick. It was as though her soul was sucked away from her. Her cheeks became sunken and she was gone.

I miss her. It's been a monthly routine of mine to drop by her house and chit chat with her and spend some quality time with her. And I still remember the smile she had on her face when I told her about my upcoming wedding. She's been a great lady and I'm proud to one of her many grandchildren.
