Default Life & Death

Life and death are really quite unpredictable.

We went to Ipoh to visit my grandfather last Sunday. My parents were also there. Together, we cleaned up his house and gave him a bath. Despite her boasts, the lady we hired to take care of him was obviously not doing her job at all. He was starved and filthy.

He seemed okay when we left. He was even hungry enough to wolf down a whole bowl of porridge. Unfortunately, he died Thursday morning, just hours before my aunt who was coming all the way from England to visit him arrived at the airport.

In a way, it is a blessing, as he really had a poor quality of life. It was also fortituous that we were all able to visit him just days before he died. And while my aunt was not able to see him before he died, my uncle from Canada managed to visit him just weeks earlier. So, all in all, it all turned out pretty okay.

So, later this morning, we will be heading to Ipoh to attend his wake. The funeral's set for tomorrow (Monday) morning, so I won't be around until then.

I would like to take this opportunity to repeat some words of wisdom from my mother - "It doesn't matter what happens after someone dies. Only what you do when the person was still alive that really matters."
