Many thanks for your kind words, Klang Wizard, LG.
Now getting ready for the final prayers and the funeral to follow this morning.
Meanwhile, I will share with you some words I penned for my Facebook announcement for my mother-in-law's passing.
When it rains, it pours!
One bereavement not over, and yet another has begun,
Now it’s Amah lying lifelessly in splendour of her brocade,
a pearl clasped by her lips, her face serene in contentment.
She lived a full life, saw her children grow up and prosper.
Her life’...s work done, she’s ready for the next destination.
No pain of age, nor pain of disease to trouble her any more
And so she lies there serenely, enjoying her eternal peace
and so I wonder, should be weeping or celebrating her life?
I guess the events of last 2-3 weeks have been so overwhelming that I have been wearing my heart on my sleeve, my apologies to all.
