RIP Ma' Eli :'(

Hey.

I'm mourning over my opo (terms to call grandpa's older sister) death. She passed away last Friday night @ 10:00 PM, not the exact time tho. She liked to carry the baby me in her arm because I was so small even smaller  than my body pillow.

But our mourning was not as great as my grandpa, not just because she's his sister. But because, he didn't get to see her for the last time when she's still alive and in good condition.

My grandpa used to ask to go to Cirebon (his hometown) he wants to see her.

My mama said we have to go before it's too late.

But because he's in no good condition, we forbade him to go.

Then.... he got to see her.... in a casket. A white casket with cross carving on it.

Her family, as in sons, waited for us to reach the place for grandpa to see her for the last time before they close the casket. When we reached the place, my grandpa slowly walked to the casket then his tears fell down.

When she's still alive, they're not in a good term. But still, they're siblings.

I tried to put on poker face, but my mom had to ruin it by saying, "Ci, hold her hand, the hand she used to carry you, hold you"
