Eulogy for Zhi gou

It's Christmas day and I woke up this morning with quite a good mood. I have been feeling quite bored the last few days since I have very few human contact. But I am not depressed at all like last year. I have learnt to handle my life much better now. I am actually quite upset with myself because I am supposed to be studying but I have just been wasting time watching television and surfing the net. I just want to talk to someone and get rid of the feeling of boredom. So I texted mum last night to ask anyone at home is free to online and chat with me.

Mum replied this morning saying that they are not free to chat because they will be going to Singapore to visit my second aunt - zhi gou (papa's second elder sister) who was in coma. She had been suffering from leukemia since the beginning of this year. The prognosis wasn't good at all. But the best thing had been that pa's bone marrow type matches hers completely. The doctor said bone marrow transplant offered the best chance of a cure, eventhough the probability of success was only something like less than 50%. In the end, she did not undergo the marrow transplant. She had undergone a series of chemotherapy and had became quite ill and brittle, physically and emotionally. I have to say that I feel sad that I haven't actually seen her at all ever since she was starting her battle over cancer.

And now she is gone. She has passed away peacefully a few hours ago. The next time I'll be seeing her in the cemetary. I'm sad that she's passed away, but at the same time I'm feel relieved for her that the battle and suffering is over. I have known her to be someone really cheerful and upbeat all my life. I am not very close to her as she lives in Singapore but she's the person you want to talk to because the way she talks to you just makes you feel really comfortable. O yes, I love her. She always buy us (My sisters and I) loads of sweetees when we meet. I know that zhi gou has strong faith with Jesus. So I hope she now rests in peace under God's safe hands.
