yesterday night at 10 pm, we received a call from the hospital saying that my grandpa was having breathing difficulties. shortly after, he had another heart attack, resulting in two out of three of this arteries being blocked, and doctors were trying to save him, but at 11.30, they told us that they had tried their best and that we were given another half an hour to say last words and take one last look at my grandpa. he was breathing with the help of medical machines and medicine. he passed away at 12.01 am on 7th may 2008. the doctors said that the heart attack was a very brief one, it involved no struggle, so my grandpa passed away peacefully.
during the last half hour, we said our prayers and told him to go peacefully. we were not allowed to cry at the bedside. it was very devastating for me, since i grew up with my grandfather. i really have nothing to say, as i am crying when i typed out this post. currently, we are busy with his funeral matters. as he is a buddhist, it will be held in the buddhist way, so christian family members like me have no say in it.
all i have to say is that, he is the greatest grabdfather anyone could have and i am really grateful for him to be in my life. although the time we spent together was not a very long one, we had lots of happy moments together and i will remember and treasure it always.
