My Great Grandmother

Feeling : depressed

Listening to : room-mate snoring amidst the cold winter loneliness

Charm says : Pls pray for my great grandmother… sobzz


My great grandmother was admitted to the hospital today coz of stroke due to internal brain bleeding. She's 90 plus so it's dangerous to undergo surgery. The doctor said that now all we could do is hope for a miracle and that the bleeding stops and she'll recover soon. For someone who has internal bleeding, her responses to stimulations and surroundings are still good and she knows what is going on. But the doctor continued saying that we should contact all relatives to come visit her… just in case… you know…


Noooo… I'm the only one not being able to be there by her side… I feel so hopeless being so far away and not being able to contribute anything… Sobzz


Ah phak ( what I call her ) is a really strong lady and she has been the one come rushing and stopping my dad from hitting me or pushing me out of the house whenever I'm being naughty back then… she alwiz give us red packets for blessing, whenever we have exams, going for a trip, or any celebration whatsoever… although I do try to tell her that blessing comes from Christ…(she's still a Buddhist)


When she was much stronger few years back, she even cooks for my siblings and I when our parents are not around. Yes I'm not kidding... She's prolly in her late 80S or early 90s that time… She alwiz tells me to study hard and would like to see me wear the graduation robe someday. That would have been my Certified Accounting Technician grad ceremony if it wasn't for IPG who incidentally forgot my whole batch and our graduation.


I dunno if I can pass my final papers this sitting and have my ACCA graduation pictures to show her…


Stupid stupid IPG. Sobz I cant believe I'm having tears now. How can u people just forgot our graduation and said if we wanna have it the next year, we should write a letter. Such irresponsibility personified…


Sobbzzz sorry ah phak I cant even show u me graduating… I cant even return to see u soon….


I NEED TO GET A PLANE TICKET HOME TO SEE HER.


Sobzz… We have to pray for a miracle and I really need all of your prayers and support… I really do wanna see her for not only one last time, but many more along the road…


With worrying about this and my future in the UK, I dunno whether I should fly home in Feb and start working straight away for PwC and at the same time be closer to my great granny since KL and Penang is only 5 hours away by bus.


Hold on there ah phak… I'll figure out a way to see u soon… I love u sobzzz….


I really really hope she accepts Christ before u know… That way, I'll know her soul is saved. I'm sorry if any of you get offended but really, the only way to get salvation and eternal life after death is to believe that For God so love the world that He gave His only begotten son that whosoever should believe in Him shall not perish but have everlasting life, John 3:16


Lord please open up her heart Lord, let her accept you into her life. And Lord I know no doctors on earth could match ur omnipotent healing powers Lord. Take away this internal bleeding and pain in her, restore her and give her a new life again Lord. Lord also help me make the decision on my future career Lord. I leave it all unto your hands… I pray all this in the name of your son Jesus Christ and for his sake, Amen.

Oh my dear thats awful.

I'm praying here for you and her.

Screw the graduation.. she knows and believes in you. I think at this point if you can get out there as soon as possible, do that.. trust me seeing your face will be what she wants right now, and not your grad pictures.

((HUGS))

Have faith.

hey btw ipg is not called ipg anymore ... it's now called ptpl ... i think took over by some malay ppl or something. not exactly sure. but when u say ptpl nobody knows. lol

okay

i'm sorry to hear bout ur grandma. few years back when i juz joined cat ... right b4 my exams in june my grandpa passed. he wasn't a believer until my dad and uncle and a local church pastor kept sharing to him. they didn't give up on God and had faith that he would be saved. so everyday they would be with him and visit him and talk to him and testify to him. he wouldn't buldge. u know how old ppl are. they have seen almost everything and accepted their fate. but my dad and uncle didn't let that stop them. and juz a day before he passed he accepted the Lord as his savior. i think there's a story to it but i forgot hehe. and also. i think the Lord sustained him long after his time has ended so that he would accept Christ cuz soon after he left for a better place. nothing is impossible.
btw ... this kinda sound a bit ... umm ... i'm not saying the same will happen .... i mean if u love her and with an unwavering faith, it's never too late to save someone.
I think she'll be happy to see u too. Pray and ask God for guidance. ^^ He will answer them.
