We bade farewell to grandad on the day of National Day.
Went St Ann's church for prayers,
bade our solemn farewells and paid our final respects.
There were songs we sang,
hoping that our grandad will be fine in the arms of god,
hoping that god will take care of him in the far far away.
Our last stop was Mandai Crematorium.
That was where:
we send him off,
our last goodbye,
his body turned into ashes,
and lastly, his final resting place.
It's my first time going through these ceremony,
I holded on to my tears,
cause I'm not gonna let him worry.
I didn't know why my grandma didn't see him off for the last time.
Maybe she didn't bare to,
As they have been through so many ups & downs along their 60 years of life.
I'm sure she misses him too,
though he made my grandma worried all day long,
though he made my grandma sad all the time.
Normally when we lose our loved ones,
we are grieved because we miss the companionship
and shared memories we’ve had in the past.
However in life,
there are many things about tomorrow we don’t seem to understand
but we know who holds tomorrow
and we know who holds our hands.
