On 21 October 2005 round 7.30pm, my husband got a call from his brother informing him that their father had passed away 20 minutes earlier. We immediately packed up and rushed back to Melaka and all the way home it was raining. It was a very subdued drive home with my little girl sleeping all the way home and us the adults each mulling over the news and keeping our grief in check. As we had known that my father in law was dying and that his passing was just a matter of time, we were prepared for the news but that did not stop the onslaught of pain at the news. We also felt relieved that his suffering had finally come to an end.
The funeral services ended on Tuesday with his remains being cremated and his ashes placed into a niche at the Melaka Memorial and Columbarium in Melaka. The place where the niche is situated is a peaceful place and one does not get any eerie feelings whatsover when you are there. It is a clean and calming environment.
Rest in peace Dad and be with God.
