Salam...

My grandma (mom's side) lost her younger sister on Tuesday nite...
I rushed back with my mom and brothers back to mom's hometown in Malacca the next morning...
My husband couldn't join as he was having a presentation on the same morning...

I think... I am more saddened by the fact that my grandma lost her sister... they were close, they hung- out together (tak kemana pon, depan2 rumah masing2 jek, they live like 100m apart jek pon)... and my grandma is the bestest sister that anyone could have!

Imagine this, sometimes my mom and her siblings have some issues with their aunty (arwah)... so they told my grandma this and that... and my grandma would protect her sister and told her daughters/ sons to just forget about those things... so ended up my mom, aunties and uncles were like "apakah? sapa yg salah ni?" and my mom being among the eldest would talk to my grandma personally and said "cannot laa protect her like that, obviously she's wrong.. bla.. bla.. bla" and my grandma would just say, "Ye laaa, korang ada sesama korang, Aye (she use this to represent herself) ada sapa? Adik Aye ni sorang jek laaa... Sapa lagi nak jaga, kalau bukan Aye yg jaga?" My mom would just kept quiet everytime my grandma use this statement... :)

When I heard about her sister's passing, my mind was locked on my grandma... She must be devastated... and I love my grandma dearly... even when I saw her yesterday, I was 'this close' to cry...

Nenek, jangan sedih2 ok? Insya Allah nenek Lang ditempatkan bersama2 org2 beriman..., kita doakan yg terbaik utk dia... I love you, nenek!
