Life is so fragile.

Have been running in and out of the hospital lately. Last week was because my dearest granny was hospitalised. Her knee was swollened cos of water retention, so she went for a small surgery to remove the water. Doctor advised her to 'change her knee-cap' but she didn't want to. However, she promised us that if her knee were to give her problems again, she will go for the op.

Granny went home on monday morning. I went to visit her in the evening. Happened to meet our relatives, who were also there to visit granny. Shall call them Uncle and Aunty in this entry. Haven't seen them for years since grandpa's funeral. I still remember walking over to their place (which is a few units away from granny's) with granny every Sat when I was still staying with her. Always enjoyed my time there talking to the maid, Lorna. I saw Lorna on monday too! We teared when we met.. So many things happened all these years. I just got reminded of the days when I stayed with granny. Uncle and Aunty asked if I have a boyfriend, about my work, about mum.... They are always concerned about me cos they always ask granny about me. They think that I didn't have a good life when I was younger, and I had a hard time growing up. They always doted on me.

We chatted for about an hour.. Happily laughing away.

But.... its all different now. I received a sms from my aunt on Wed, saying that Uncle is hospitalised. We visited him in the evening. Uncle is now in coma, lying in the ICU. His daughter told us Uncle was having his usual morning stroll, chit-chatting with his friends when he suddenly fainted. He fell back hard and hit his head. Doctor said that its all blood clots in his head and he wouldn't survive the night.

Its so sudden. I got so depressed when I was in the ICU. Seeing the people lying on the bed, most of them are in coma.

I haven't met Uncle and Aunty for so many years.. I was still happily chatting with them on Monday night. And just two days later, its all changed.......

His daughter said that perhaps he is waiting for all his grandchildren to return to Sg. All of them are prepared that he may leave any time... This feeling is terrible.

Life is really so fragile. You never know when you are going to die. I really hope that Uncle will wake up. He is such a nice person... Don't take him away. Uncle and Aunty are still so loving.... and Aunty is so heartbroken now... Don't take him away.

Please pray for Uncle... I really really hope he will wake up....

*Edit at 1335. I didn't know when I was blogging last night, Uncle already left us. Rest in Peace Uncle, I will never forget you... Goodbye...
