Grandma Sim Ah Ma (SAM)

My dearest grandma, ah ma, passed away very peacefully on 29 Oct 2011 at night.

She led a tough life and brought up 5 kids with my grandpa of cos. She's the best grandma I've ever had cos my other grandma (Dad's side) passed away when I was 2 or 3 I think? And yes my cousins and I have played with her, prayed for her and prayed with her, ate with her and did many things with her. We used to go out with her when she was still strong too. I remember her sitting in the car beside me and I was fidgeting around. I was still quite young then. Then I remember playing with her and taking pictures with her when I was Sec 1. I told her I went to visit a lao ren yuan then she said, good, must go and visit more often. She lived with me since very young, so I'm very attached to her. I might have been annoyed with her and secretly in my heart I ask for her forgiveness for words that could've been spoken were not, cos it's too late. I really wish she was here. To tell me that everything's okay, to tell me not to worry, to take my hand and pat it, to laugh with me and to laugh at me for being a scaredy cat again. But I know she's in a better place, hallelujah!

She was fine. Then all of a sudden, one day, she fell ill. Very ill. Until the extent of having to go to the hospital for 2 or a few weeks I think. The whole family visited her, spent days and nights at the hospital. Grandpa went too, and it was emotional for they were reunited after a decade apart. I believe he misses her greatly too. Will keep praying for him and for the whole family. And then it got so serious until she fell into a coma and passed away. But very peacefully. She had the peace of God in her. When the peace of God fell upon her heart, she was very peaceful and didn't frown or curse like she normally did. It was very nice, and very great. Somehow we all felt sad, but yet there's this joy in our hearts as well, for we know she'll be with Jesus, she'll be in heaven, a better place, enjoying and rejoicing with God and praising and worshipping Him! How great is it to even think about it :) Yes, I am deeply saddened by the loss of my dear grandma, but I know she's in a better place, where there isn't any suffering. Thank God, thank God! :D

Ah Ma, I will miss you a lot. We all, the whole family will. In fact, we are already missing you. But we'll meet again someday aye? And we'll be together with Jesus and rejoicing! :D See you soon, Ah Ma. I miss you.
