Mum's nanny, passing away..

Today during lunch, we got a phone call.
Mum's nanny passed away in hospital this afternoon.

My bowl of porridge suddenly turned bitter, upon hearing this news.

She was such a nice lady, who took care of my mum during her younger times.
Mum brought me along when i was a kid to visit her house.
And every time we are there, she would make milo, take out the biscuits and starting serving us.

However, due to a fall, few years back, she was being bed ridden and only survived on a tube, transferring milk through her mouth.

Few months back, Mum and i visited her again in the nursing home she was staying in.
As she was not able to talk, all she could do was stare at us. I am sure she still can recognize us, but she just could not talk.

Although we expected such things, but i did not want it to happen so soon.

Death is a debt we all must pay. ~Euripides

Only problem is : when?

Dear Nanny, Thank you for the great memories.
Please take care of yourself in the other world.

Dear Mum, Stay strong. *HUGS*
