I will not lie and say that we were close.
However ah ma was the only living grand parent I have known.
Was making plans the night before to visit ah ma at the hospital as well.
I was more concerned for my dad instead when I received the SMS from him on Wednesday Morning before heading off to work,
He took a direct morning flight back from Ho Chin Minh, and I heard that he was the last one to take a last look at ah ma before they closed the casket.

That would be one thing my bro and I kinda regret, we didn't know that the family wouldn't want to embalm her or we would have rushed down to take a final look as well.

I could see my dad was a little disappointed that we didn't let our side of family know about the passing of his mother, however certain issues will always have consequences. I guess he does not know it yet.

All in all , I am thankful ah ma passed away peacefully.
And she of course will be in my memories.
