Goodbye YehYeh...

My grandpa passed away last Monday, at the age of 82. For the last 2 weeks, we have been in and out of the hospital at least 3-4 times a day. Mom was tough.  She was stationed there from 6.20am until night, to monitor the condition of grandpa. Dad on the other hand, rush down to Penang on Tuesday's after school, and drove back to AS again around 10pm, and rush to Penang on Friday's and back to AS on Saturday evening.
We were all very worried about grandpa's condition, as he got weaker and weaker after each dialysis. God knew the suffering grandpa had to endure, and finally took him home on Monday, 26th March 2012.
This morning, we escorted the casket to the crematorium and bade our goodbyes. Not exactly goodbye, but 'see you again', when we meet in heaven.

I can't express my emotion in this blog. It's not something you can describe anyway.

The good news is after 29 years of waiting, my grandpa is finally united with my grandma. Grandpa had waited this long, pining over my grandma and remained faithful to her right up to his death.

I'm glad that the Lord took grandpa home peacefully. Rest in peace dear yeh yeh.

I love you, and I'm sorry I never had the chance to say it out loud.

The Ch'ng family
