I received the news via sms this morning.
Man, do I hate it when I receive calls or sms-es from my family in the morning and late at night.
Because they usually always mean the same thing: bad news. I remembered clearly that the last time I received a phone call of a similar nature was when grandma's battery, after successfully running for 89 years, finally decided to give in – come to think of it, it was also around the same time last year.
When I saw that the sms was from mom, my heart was pounding fast and I hesitated for an instant second. But I know that no matter how I try to avoid it, I still have to face the truth sooner or later.
I guess my mom knew me well enough not to call me at that time of the hour. Me being the emotional sort, once the tap is turned on, it’s almost impossible to turn it off.
Angeline passed away at 8.10am this morning. Luckily enough that her bf managed to be by her side before her departure.
But I somehow believe that this has nothing to do with luck. It was as if she was waiting for him to come and see her one last time. It was as if this was her last wish before she bade us farewell.
Ange, hope that you are having a ball of a time with your daddy up there. I know how much it broke your heart when he left but now that both of you are reunited, don’t forget to watch over your mommy and brothers okay?

We'll miss you,
