so..this is really

...goodbye..

i heard the sad news from my cousin yesterday. told me you left quietly. i said a little prayer for you as you embarked on your new journey and hoped that the angels were there to keep you safe and watch over you. i know you are now free from all the pain and discomfort. you rightly told me so, just 3 nights ago in a dream. it was so typical of you. to suddenly burst out and said.."hey..!! i'm okay already. see...no more pain" ..and you gave that signature laugh of yours, and i noticed that you "looked" so very very young..

and when i told mom about it over the phone the very next day and she relayed that dream to you..i'm sure you must have smiled a little smile in between labored breaths, coz you probably knew it already..and when mom told me that you'd been talking the past few nights about some departed relatives showing up suddenly in the middle of the night, i kinda knew it too..

and yesterday, mom told me that you went so peacefully, after all your cousins and siblings regaled and reminisced to you the old times down at the old house on Burmah Road. i'm sure it brought back a great lifetime of memories for you, beautiful and joyful memories that you softly and quietly took with you...

i'm so sorry i was not there to say goodbye to you, mostly becoz i hate goodbyes but i also know you probably didn't want me to...and i know you know that one fine day, we will all meet again and i'm sure you will have plenty of stories to tell us for eternity..





p/s: i hope you are taking the paper crane with you..
