yesterday was supposedly a happy day, because it was my dad's birthday.
however, the unexpected happened. my grandfather passed away.
he had such strong will to live.
he survived after his breath stopped for 15mins.
he survived through several pumps which caused him intense pain.
day after day, the needles and pipes could be removed.
on monday when i last visited him in the hospital, the doctor said there were chances of him being transferred out of the ICU. i remembered feeding him oatmeal and soup; he ate more when i fed him. he wanted to get out of the ward badly. he wanted the mitten(wadever u call tht) to be removed but well we cldnt. when his condition was better, he craved for lychee juice(my sis did buy him some).
he ranted about being in the hospital, and that the nurses and doctors tortured him. he was a really stubborn old man.
his pains ended yesterday morning. my mom described to me how his heartbeat slowly weakened.
i remembered how he had boasted about his health, all thanks to the oatmeal he ate everyday. recently, we met on the bus and he looked energetic.
i had planned to visit him again ytd but was unexpectedly hit by the news.
i didnt cry alot, because it was more painful seeing him in the ICU with his life supported by machines. i think i can cope with the loss.
rest in peace.
thankyou everyone who tried to make me happier.
True friends
