Life, live & love
Half a year has passed since my last entry. I thought it was only 2-3 months though. It is with a heavy heart that I pen this.
His hand was just holding her lifeless hand silently. Throughout the 27 years that I have known my uncle, he has never utter much of a full sentence to me. But the image that of him holding her hands with tears streaming down his face told me a lifetime worth of lessons and heartaches.
Just last week, we still see my 3rd aunt coming to our house for the praying of the hungry ghost festival. Yesterday when I woke up during noon time, I saw this sms from my brother, "please rush down to Tan Tock Seng hospital, 3rd Aunt is in critical condition" I just didn't react, the gravity of the situation just didn't hit me at that moment. It was only half an hour later, that I saw my healthy and young 3rd aunt in tubes everywhere, when I realised that the world is a F up place sometimes.
She has woke up on a Sunday morning preparing herself for her shift work in the factory when she suddenly scream pain and collaspe. That was the last thing my uncle, her husband, heard from her beloved. An ambulance was called and she was rush to the hospital. And what did the hospital do? Nothing...tests to diagnose her conditions..And the conclusion after like one whole day? The doctor said, "sorry, there is nothing we can do for her now. Her artery burst and half of the brain is drain in blood." Well done, my dear doctors. No, I don't think this is uncalled anger directed at the men in white; I am just very sure if the person in bed is Lee Kuan Yew, the corrective action taken would be sped up by 20 times and he would be operate on immediately.
Never mind..to add salt to the wound? Only less than 2 hours ago, just almost 36 hours after the incident, a Civil Serpent from Ministry of Health came. "sorry, by law, she is legally brain dead and we have to take her organs because she didn't opt out of the Organs Donation Act. Hah, another fine legislation from our Fine Government. Nvm.
Back to the scene, I just couldn't help but wept. The love between my uncle and aunt is as deep as the ocean...nothing more frivolous could have describe it better. Luckily my 2 cousins are grown up...buts still. You know what is the worse thing about growing up? You see the people that love you passes you by....and there is nothing we can do..
My dear 3rd Aunt, you took so much care for me when I was young. Everyone is praying for me. Dear God, gods or goat....whatever you call yourself...this woman is one of the finest you have ever create..pls pls don't take her away from us so suddenly..oh god..sorry i hv to stop.
