On the morning of 9th November 2012, I received a shocking during my orientation that my ah-gong had passed away on 6:30am. Initially i was nearly breakdown with this news, and tears dropped uncontrollable. With the permission from management side, i managed to fly back immediately to attend the funeral, the last thing i can do for him to accompany him till the end of his journey.
Ah-gong, please forgive me. I'm so sorry for my late arrival to see you for the last time. I thought that we still have the chance in future to meet and talk. I promised to you that i will try my best to come back on this coming CNY to celebrate with you. But things does not always happen as what we planned. You decided to leave and go for a better choice of life. Maybe it's time for you to meet with ah-mah and your friends in the another world. I should let you go in peace now.
Ah-gong, maybe you that I am blaming myself for the late arrival, so you came in my dream and let me know how relieve you are right now. You seems very peaceful, smile happily, having cup of chinese tea with your friends under the tree, and enjoy nice natural scenery in that new world. I know that you're really in peace and accept the leaving now.
To My late grandpa,
may you rest in peace. I will remember you forever.
Hope you will have a better life there.
亲爱的阿公,我回来了。
请原谅我迟来看你最后一面,愿 你在另一个世界与阿嫲和亲友们相会,过着一样快乐的日子
阿公. 一路好走,安息吧 !
