rested in peace......


he was wearing oxygen mask gasping for air,
occasionally using both hands to pound his weary legs on the hard hospital bed,
occasionally glance at me with unspeakable pains painted all over his face and almost in tears.

do you know how unbearable it was for me to wait by the bed and reaching out to help, to ease, to calm, i cannot fathom the extend of your suffering, i cannot fathom the depth of your fear, all i can do is frantically massaging you, whisper comforting words to you, wishing all these could at least calm your spirit and you could have some peaceful rest, but to no avail.

and then in the morning you breathed for the very last time, leaving 5 weary souls in tears, mourning for the lost that is to quick for any of us to settle in. and then we washed you, clothed you, prayed for you, and sent your mortal shell to be rested in peace, God, have mercy on his soul and carry him into your kingdom of eternal life, abundance joy.

we miss you dearly, bad time, good time, sad time, trying time, joyful time, all the times.

尘归尘,土归土,身卒魂尤在,安息吧。
