Grandpa

My grandpa died last night around 11+ pm. He most likely died of kidney failure. I don't know cos the doctor didn't say. My grandpa was sent to the hospital on the 7th of December. On the 8th, around 10 pm, we recieved a call from the hospital that he was in a critcal condition. Blood has clotted somewhere up his thighs and blood can't flow to his legs. The doctor asked us if we would like to take the risk and have him sent for operation. The doctor also said that she fear that he would not make it through the night. After some thoughts we didn't go for the operation because the risk is so high that it is just like sending him to die. The 9th just so happens to be my birthday. What a birthday would it be if your grandpa died on it. Well, that night i prayed that God would help my grandpa. I pray that he would be able to last till the 19th at the very least because my cousin living in the states would only be returning then. Well, thank God for all the blessing he has showered upon us.

My grandpa got better but he couldn't walk. He was fine all the way until Chirstmas. Around 2 a.m., the hospital called. They said that grandpa's condition got worse. We all rushed to the hospital and accompanied him. I only returned home at 10 p.m. that night to pack my lungage because i was coming back to Singapore on a 8 am. flight. I only got to know that he died this morning when my dad called.

Well. People will die someday. Its part of the lifecycle. I didn't feel sad because grandpa is already 81, he lived to see all his relatives for the last time and that he peacefully without pain. What else can one ask for.
