My Condolences
I've the gravest news.
Elle, who's just turned 4.
Was finally laid to rest in her final resting place.
May God bless her for what she's been through this past few months.
It has been a turbulent and uneasy time for her.
At first, she caught just a minor viral infection.
The doctors treated her and said she'll recover in no time.
It was nothing serious. We all breathed a sigh of relief.
Or so we thought.
Not long after her recovery, about a month later, she suffered what would be a mortal blow to her body. She had a stroke and went into coma.
One wouldn't have thought that such a thing will occur at one so young of age.
But it did.
She went into coma for about 5 days before she woke up.
When she did, there was rejoice...but... we knew she wasn't the same again.
She could not respond verbally other than blink very weakly.
It hurts so much just to see her in this condition.
She tried to smile a lot to ease our pain but we could see the pain in her eyes.
The stream of dried tears that she shed every time we went to see her.
We knew, that her time... would soon end.
It pained us to no end, but it was inevitable.
We knew this was coming, we tried taking this in our stride, but every time we tried, every time we looked at her eyes, the feeling of loss grew and never faded away.
It was just a matter of when.
It could be before the New Year, during Chinese New Year, or anytime within those few months.
The doctors diagnosed her and her organs were failing.
She's suffering from multiple organs failure.
One by one, her organs were shutting down.
Soon, she had to be put on life support.
We were all on stand by to prepare for the inevitable.
All her friends came to visit her.
From ones not seen for years to ones whom she just recently met and touched.
Chinese New Year, the time for celebration was replaced by a time of worry and everyone who knew her couldn't follow through with the customary exchange of ang pows nor tossing of "yee sang". We knew that in the back of our minds, we can never have peace.
On the fourth day of Chinese New Year, she passed.
Her life support flat-lined.
The very last moments she spent on Earth was alone.
Her loved one who was with her the whole time, was in the washroom just before she passed.
Tears of sorrow and death flowed through the day and lasted through the night.
It was hard to accept...She was so beautiful and to be robbed of her life at the prime of her life.
It was heart-breaking.
Many broke free and wept openly. For we all knew, we were all sharing the same pit of misery.
Needless to say, it was great knowing her.
She was a great companion, friend and partner.
No one had a bad thing to say about her.
She was the only one willing to provide company when working through the night.
She never once complained.
Her mere presence was good enough to calm down and motivation to complete whatever work that was given.
She shall be remembered on this very day, 22nd of February 2007.
The day, when an angel left us to be one with the Creator.
Thank you,
My beloved computer.
