A tribute to my treasured Grandma: This is a post that is difficult for me to write… Recently, I just lost my beloved grandmother who passed away on 13 th Feb 2013 of illness and we will miss her terribly. She was one special lady and the loss of her is felt deeply by many, even though she lived a full life. For the past few months, she bravely fought through heart attack and illness due to ageing. And seeing her suffer in those last hours was extremely difficult.

The love of a grandma is unique. God must have given grandmothers to us to liven up our lives, to make our lives more complete, to make us well rounded and better human beings. She played a big part in my childhood and I can remember so many times sitting in her kitchen and tasting the dishes, she prepare with special love. She taught me a lot about love and the meaning of family.. She has never been just ‘my grandmother’, but my guardian, my friend and my inspiration.

Still, we can’t believe my lovely Grandma was taken away from us . We will miss our Grandmother, but her spirit and strength, lives on in each of us and in the lives that she touched. She lives on in me and in all those who have been touched by the love, strength, conviction, wisdom, and beauty of her soul.

Love you grandma – You truly were a special, special woman! You may have passed on, but your memories would always live on within us. Thank you for your sacrifices, your care and concern, your love and everything that you have done for me. Wherever you are, I know you are in a much better place. I will be forever grateful and thankful that you are my ‘grandmother’.

Rest in Peace Grandmother…we will never forget you and we will always love you forever…
