Rupster says " About The Final Farewell"

It was just last week that we gathered as a family to celebrate Mother's Day.
You never wanted wake up nor open your eyes.
We had to constantly call you to wake up.
Your response were slow but we never gave up.
Finally you opened your eyes.
You never wante dto leave the room.
We forced you out and you gave in.

You were left there on your chair all by yourself, as they were preparing food for you.
Not all realised what were you doin but 2 pairs of eyes were contstantly watching you.
We saw you lifting up your weak hand to check on your hair.
Being very weak, you still managed to bun up your hand.
Surrounded by your great-grandchildren, you proudly cut your cake.
You even managed to pose for pictures.

Little did we know that those poses would be your last.
Little did we know that it would be our very last moments with you.
Little did we know that your walk out to your special chair would be your last seat on it.
Little did we know that your meal was the final solid meal you had.
Little did we know that what you told us were going to be your last words.
Little did we know that those were your last laughter with us.
Little did we know that today would be the day that we all said farewell to you!

Though there were moment that we laughed around at the point your body laid motionless there, deep in our hearts we were grieving your lost. You had always told us not to cry. You had always told us to pray for you to "go". You constantly told me to get for you the "tickets". But I would always ask you back "where do you want to go? Sri Lanka? Its ok we will go together. And your reply would be "No. You cant come to this place I want to go". At time your reply would be "Yes, we'll go together to Sri Lanka."

Those were the times that we used to make fun of you just to make you speak and not think of "go"ing and thinking of all your pains. No matter how sick you were, your memory power always seemed to be so good that everyone in the family wished we had that memory power too. You remembered each and every incident that had occurred complete with the day, date and time. You never got tired explaining to us how is everyone related to each other.

Today, we believe you have gone to a better place. We hope we sent you of with the way you wanted and requested. We would definitely miss the usual Sunday visiting to you. Its be a routine all these years and to break the routine might be a very hard task!

We'll defiantly miss you...Rest in Peace!

p/s Rupster would try to come up with a post with more picture from the entire collection. Pictures in this post were the last moments we had with her as a family.
