I will always remember you...

I know this has nothing to do with beauty or fashion or even anything that I usually blog about. But today I would like to share my sorrow.
At 6.30 pm today, I received a text msg from my father saying that my aunt has passed away after losing her battle with intestine cancer. I was devastated.
Images of her came one by one in my mind. Her smile, her laugh and her calmness.
Early this year, when she was diagnosed with the illness, it shocked the whole family. But I guess everyone was hoping that she will be cured, or at least, no one expected that she would go that early.
And the most regretful thing is, I was at home, in Malaysia when I received the news. I planned to go to the hospital to see her, but somehow I never did. I don't really know why. Now I wish I did. Even worst, I think the last time I saw her was about a year ago. I know its too late. I'm sorry, Mak Ngah.
I was never really close to her. As in, we don't really go out shopping together or anything... but when we meet, we usually have a good conversation together.
When I was a lot younger, I used to stay at my grandparents' house, and I used to see her on a regular basis with her husband. The younger image of her sitting in my grandmother's kitchen is still vivid in my mind.
It had always been very pleasant talking to her, with her smile that never faded and she had a calm face... like an angel. Ever since I was about 9, I know my aunt went through a lot in life. Of course as a kid I knew all about it by eaves dropping my parents' conversation. And from all the facts I've gathered, she became one of the person I respected the most. With everything she went through, till this day, I don't know how she became the person she was. She was kind, soft spoken, warm hearted, patient (I don't think there's even a limit to her patience) and.... I can't even explain anymore.
Now, I only have memories of her... and only good ones. Coz there're definitely no bad memories of her... definitely nothing. I always love u and remember u.
