Grandma has passed on..

ok, here's a really sad update on my life: i was sleeping when my mom came in and said" grandma's dead." i was like "ok.." before it registered.. went for the wake on starting on thursday..skipped school then.
Day 1
burned papers and more papers..helped to fold gold ingots to fill 30 bags!!
Day 2
went to school and went back to wake....burned and burned..studied...slept on the hard wooden floor..
Day 3
Burned papers in shift...slept at 1.30 woke at 7.30 to do my shift..burning...do ritual..bow and bow and bow..
day 4
go for the ritual..final send off.. she was sent for cremation today..the mandai crematorium and columborium was freezingly cold..saw the coffin get pushed in..
many cried..i didn't because i was not really close to her...sadly..i feel sad for my grandpa...his only partner died before him and he's 90? poor him...luckily he seems ok..

oh well, life is fragile...cherish it and everyone around..
Peace
