My Loving Grandpa

It should have been a bright new Sunday but I ended up being more than fragile of knowing 20 years ago, on this day, 14 September 1988, my loving grandpa failed to battle his long heart cancer on

Sunday was suddenly calmer than ever...
Sunday was suddenly ended up in purity despite this sunny morning greeted me in cheerful mood as Arsenal beat Blackburn Rovers by 4-0 a night before

My love for him has taken me back to the old days...

It was downhill all the way after my Mother texted me pertaining this remembrance, telling me that grandpa has left us two decades ago and reminding me his enormous love will always be remembered

I'm speechless and all I know he is always in my prayer...

If I could continue, it was a reality check I did not intend to go back, although I must unveil once again that I cried a whole loads in his graveyard 10 years ago when visiting a city where his body was finally rested

It was not a moment to savor either but given the amazing moments before heaven called him in sudden, I was there crying for almost 30-miute, relieving all burdens of failing to be with him in his final hours in one of Bandung's hospitals

No surprise if I felt so blessed to have loved by him in this life

All I could comment is his love on smoking might have hammered his heart...
And his love on lager might have futher failed his lung too...

But his love has always been warm and calm in every walk of my life
And he'll be sorely missed than ever


Grandpa,
You might have left us in the past 20 years but your legacy will live on forever for which I'll carry forward your values of hardworking, honesty and immense loyal to the family

We all know, you'll always be remembered for and sorely missed

Beautiful!
What a sweet tribute to your grandpa. I could feel the love you have for him through your words.
It's always hard to lose someone.
