Forget-u-not..
Man, this few days seemed like a soul drainer period for me.. Could even see it in my mum. Was lost in her own world ever since she got that call from her best friend's niece. Aunt Ju was slowly slipping away. Her grip on life was weakening as the fight was simply too much for her. She just can't do it anymore..
Mum knew about her ongoing bouts with cancer. She held on for about five years with this, having to go through 7 chemotherapies. Her visits to our place became less and less throughout then. Til she stop coming here altogether. One day mum received a called from the niece of Aunt Ju, Kak Ina. She told mum that Aunt Ju's losing the fight. It won't be long. Just a two days before her passing, we managed to visit her at Kak Ina's place. It certainly broke everyone's heart when we saw her. Not being able to get up on her own, she just lay there greeting us. I lost an uncle abt 2 years ago to cancer as well and it just took me back when i saw her there. Mum just lost it and could'nt hold back her tears, looking at her best friend. She was so frail and ghastly thin that i found myself unable to look her in the eyes for long. It was just too painful seeing my Aunt Ju like that. The tears soon made their way down my cheeks. We left there with heavy hearts and swollen eyes. In a couple of days, we received another call from Kak Ina. This time to inform us that her beloved Aunt had passed on. Mum told me about the news on the phone while i was in town. We went there the next morning to the funeral and to see her one last time.
Never she be far from our minds. Her soothing and calming voice that once sang me to sleep as a baby, from what Mum told me before, never change. Even til the last days..
