People Come, People Go.......

People come to this world, people leave this world at the same time.....that is the way it goes here, in this temporary world.....And I think as you grow older, you see more of these occasions if you have big extended family members. For my father's generation, now, we only have 2 uncles left with their spouses and another aunt. Other have left this world, 4 uncles, aunts...one after another.
This time around is my 3rd aunt, someone I can consider biologically close to me (perhaps one of these days, I will write another novel about me, and my 4 mothers...but that will come in near future).
I just want to put a simple note here to remember her....so that in future these is a record about her here.

I remember during my school says, having her next door to us, most of the times, she will invite  or call me over when lunch is cooked or done, and usually I will "cross over" for a meal. And during special festive seasons... when most of my cousins are back to home, again, I will be there to "take advantage of the meals" she prepared. I like the duck sour vege soup she prepared and also the fresh grounded turmeric  chicken.....

Glad to be back to Malaysia this time around, to have the chance to visit her once before her last breath and again, to pay my final respect to her (by lighting incense to her) for the final time, Regret that due to my job arrangement and commitment, I have to be back and hence cannot escort her in the final journey to the resting place. I just wish her well, in her final resting place and may she follows Buddha's light to the land of Nirvana.





RIP my dear aunt....and wish you a good rest and leave behind whatever unhappiness  you had in your journey here, this temporary world and glad that finally, you are with 3rd Uncle now.

Sincerely,

Selayang
