In Loving Memory of Grandma

My grandma passed away about a week ago. She was 84 years old and was the last grandparent I have who was still alive, since my three other grandparents had already passed away long time before. When I received a text msg from my parents about this news, I suddenly remembered her face, her smile, her sparkling eyes whenever I visit her at the hospital or her home. When I was young I could chat with her for hours. But as I grew up, somehow we live in some sort of distance - I don't know what it is, maybe because I'm more occupied with other things like school and my peer groups... those you think matters the most in the world whenever you're an adolescent. Yet I remember some bits and pieces of memories that remain in my mind. One thing that's still fresh in my memory is the time when I was leaving to Bangkok for my 3 months internship. I guess it was the last time I ever see her. I remember asking her what she'd like me to bring her, and she answered, "I would love to come and visit you instead... I'd like to travel to Bangkok, Holland, Paris... But I can not do that now, can I?" I paused. I didn't know what to say or do. I felt so bad as I thought nothing in the world that I could bring her as a souvenir, because she wouldn't want all that. She wanted to travel the world... but since she got legs injury, she could no longer walk properly, and I guess that's why the sudden crave of travelling came up. One night I was unable to sleep, and I was praying inside so that I could meet grandma in my dreams. It didn't happen, and I felt so disappointed in the morning. If I ever had one last time meeting her... I would like to thank her for enabling me to have the life that I have right now. And I would apologize for not being around more often. I hope that she now rests in peace. I believe that I'll see her again someday, either in my dreams or the world beyond. I love you, Eyang. You can sleep well now and Grandpa will wake you up the next day .......
