Rest in Paradise

There are no words to describe how I'm feeling at this very moment. The last 24 hours all I've wanted to do was crawl back into bed & pull the blanket over my head. But in reality having a child to take care of, that's not possible.

Yesterday, October 24, 2011 at 4:50am.. My grandfather, or as we all liked to call him in Chinese.. KongKong.. Passed away at the age of 92.

..... =*(**

I know he's in a better place. Reunited with Lola, my grandmother, who passed away November 2nd nearly two years ago. I guess she was tired of waiting & he couldn't wait to see her.

I wish I was there so he didn't have to be alone. I wish I was at least in the county. Soon as I heard the news my son & I drove an hour & a half just to say "good bye". It was the longest drive ever.. Or so I thought until it was time to drive home. That took twice as long or so it felt.

The whole family knew this time would be different. I think deep down we all knew the day was drawing near. Usually, KongKong would pull through coz he's so stubborn.. Nothing can get him down. We all knew.. It was only a matter of time.. & his will to keep fighting.

I will miss you! So much!
