After almost a year of struggle with life, my grandma breathe her last this morning. I was even going through her photos last night with my mom when I was reclassifying my photo album with my mac's iphoto. We were sharing about her last birthday in 2006 where she can still walk freely. She was still snoring according to my aunt who was taking care of her, when suddenly she started to have some bubbles from her mouth. She was being asked to wake up but she grew weaker and rest with the Lord.
The incident was so unexpected. She was still talking this morning. I was in John Maxwell's Million Leaders mandate when I heard the news. I wanted to cry for I will miss my grandma but it seems awkward to cry in the hall filled with people listening to the speakers. Anyway, I was able to take deep breathes to swallow up my grieve. Until now, though there were tears wanting to flow out of my eyes, but it kept of stopping. Maybe, it has not dawn on me yet, as I have tried to curb my feelings this morning. Or maybe, its just that I know my grandma is in heaven now, since she accepted Jesus to be her personal Lord and Savior last year.
I was asked to give a eulogy this Monday, still wandering what to say as too many good memories I had with my grandma. I also do not know, if I can give a good eulogy, since I might be filled with too much compassion and grief.
Well, there is still some time to think about it carefully. I will write an eulogy of my grandma in a couple of days through the net but wonder if I can deliver it publicly.
