Today, most of the bad memories about her is finally gone with her.
My Ah Ma commented to the maid that she is tired and feels like sleeping when brushing teeth. The next minute, she lost conscious and turned cold. The maid alerted my dad who called me when I was still recovering from my flight back from Hong Kong in the wee hours of Sunday morning.
My brother and I ran to my Ah Ma's place two blocks away. She was already unconcious. I dialed 999 asking for assistance. But the stupid policeman asked me to call 995. Cannot transfer meh? Waste time. I held my Ah Ma's cold hands and kept on calling her, while waiting for the paramedics.
After a 10min wait, the paramedics are here. No pulse, no breathing. I went to the hospital with her. All along, me, the grandchild who has suffered the most under her mean ways was the only one with her at her deathbed. My brother and I were the only ones receiving the news of her death from the doctor. At that moment, my bad memories of her has left together with her spirit and soul.
I feel sad for this old woman whom I called Ah Ma. None of her children were around. Me who held her hands while she passes on didn't even shed a tear...
