The last days

Wander how a person feeling when the time has come.

My mother-in-law was warded in A and E
Just like anyone. she fear death.
Doctor told her family members to come close to her to be ready for her departure.
When a person is going to the other world the mouth open kept opened like a little bird.

We were at he bedside, her eyes suddenly opened, she called "ah pa (her husband) you come? and ah kong, she smile, she became well a few days later. She could walk slow with a walking stick. She went home a few days later, her body was weak.

She came to my place to celebrate her great-grand-son one year old birth day.
A month later, her sugar level dropped to a dangerously low level.
She refused to suck the honey we brought for her, she was taken to the hospital by ambulance. She was ready to go. Her son was busy with his nian tok foo stall at Bedok wet market. She was waiting for him, the night her blood level fell to very low. Doctor ask all relatives to go to the hospital, she was going. Her only son came to her bed in the morning after a good night sleep. She opened her eyes look at the son and the heart breaks stopped. All the tears fell from the next of kins by the bedside,
she was happy to see that her son and daughter-in-law came to send her on her last journey.
She left peacefully ending her chapter in life. She had a good life. And also a "Good son and a good daughter-in-law!"
