Although all of us are feeling sad but still we are happy for Gong Gong cos he had lived for 100 blissful years and everyone in the family went to see him in hospital before he pass away. The last time I saw him in the hospital, I break down, its never nice seeing someone in a dying state but he turns better on the day we visited him. He holds on for another 3 more days.
My memories of him is very little because I dun get to see him much, a memories that I will fondly remember is that he liked to show good sign whenever he sees me carrying Kiern to him when Kiern was a baby.
His funeral will be the first funeral that Kiern attend. Yesterday, Kiern do not understand what is happening, he refused to wear white tee and putting on the color cloths which will indicates how is he related to Gong Gong. So I took some time to explain to Kiern...
Me: "Do you know what is happening now?"
Kiern: "I don't know"
Me: "You see the photo, do you remember who he is?"
Kiern: "Yes"
Me: "Ok, Great-Grandfather had passed away, do you understand what is pass away?"
Kiern: "Yes it means go away."
Me: "Yes and you will not get to see him again and you need to wear white tee and put on the cloth to show respect."
When I told laoye what I had said to Kiern, he asked me why I dun said die? Maybe I just too sensitive, I feels that "die" this word is kinda of harsh. In the end, laoye told Kiern that Great-Grandfather had dies just like the fish he used to keep. Then Laoye asked if he knows what is die? That Kiern gave an expression - Eye balls looking up with a crook mouth. We all broke into laughter cos its very funny and I think he do understand what is going on now.
