After suffering from cancer and becoming half the size she used to be, my dad's beloved sister finally passed away peacefully at home this morning. She lost her son to the same type of cancer (bone) a couple of years back and wasn't really herself eversince. I'm glad she passed on at home, something which she'd requested a couple of days back. My dad's particularly upset because he didn't get to see her today before she left. He'd been visiting her at the hospital everyday without fail. Furthermore, my aunt had wanted to go to Swatow, their dad's hometown in China, when she was not so ill. Unfortunately, my dad had to postpone it a few times till she was too ill to go. Well, at least he took her to Genting Highlands some weeks back, which I hope will be consoling to him. No more pain....no more suffering.....may you rest in peace, Er Gu.
Slightly more than a month ago, I got to know of the news that my aunt was critically ill and she didn't have much time left. Within days, news of another aunt's (no blood relation) bad health reached me when I rang her to arrange a day to visit her. She's my MIL's friend whom I befriended in UK since 1998. She used to have breast cancer and that went into remission. But the cancer has come back and it's attacking her nerves near her spine. My MIL told me it's the 2nd relapse in 2 years, which doesn't sound good. She's now undergoing Chemotherapy and constantly in pain. I wanted badly to go see her since the last time we met was one year ago. I'd called her husband several times in the past year to arrange a get-together but she'd not been feeling well to receive guests. I still have her pot's lid which her husband had mistakenly left behind and take mine instead. That was during Lavigne's 1st birthday party. I hope she'll pull through again this time round and we can pay her a visit soon.
