20 of July 3:20p.m. , mark the grief moment of a fallen hero, a mother to 11 children, my beloved grandmother :( !
It was a dark Friday afternoon after I just ended my trail exam ....relief that the exam week finally over with just few hours of nap...tensed with the call from my auntie that grandmother's heartbeats stopped ! An unease feeling surge through me when all of the phone rang at the same time to inform the news. Later, we made haste to D'house. I could felt then tense in the car, without a words from my father, he
probably already knew what this moment would came, just the matter of time.
So unfortunate for my brothers and sister as they are coming back the next day, was unable to saw her for the last time. Arrived, the atmosphere of the house seem so gloomy and dark, nobody seem want to utter a word, cries would broke the silent. All member of the house already ready for the funeral, planning from the undertaker to the priest , from the doctor to the coffin maker.
Soon after, the 'square van' arrived to take away the deceased... round table discussion was made to discuss about the funeral. There was a cell group two days after from the church to offer condolence to our family. I could still remember vividly how it came so fast, just saw her few days before and now she is gone....how weak human is, only God could be the savior. Told by my uncle at the confession session, at her very old age, her courage and determination to server the church need to be honored and learned by us, though the knee problem could not be the obstacle for Sunday church service! You are a great one grandmother !
Monday I have to attend the funeral , white shirt and black was the dress code. The operator and the priest do all the job. It was a gloomy day too, the could does not seem to leave and rain does not seem to fall too !
She was watching us, probably? After prayers...each and every one of us hold some dirt and throw it to the top of the coffin after it was earthed, as a mark of farewell and goodbye. followers followed after.
I believe that there will be a place for the in the heaven :) .Though sickness conquered her life but I could saw a weakly smile at her end time for she had conquered death , she has no regrets in her life. Responsible is her second name, for she raised 11 children and it is not easy...we could see it from another solid proof, all the jewelry she already marked with our names in order to give them back if something happened to her. From her Bible, there are prayers made for us...hoping our safety and well being...! Here's a song that made me cried....the amazing grace :,). Goodbye grandmother...you will always be remembered and rest in peace....
