19) seng chye carrying the urn up to the 3rd floor.
we were worried that my mum might find it a bit tiring
to climb so high, but the 2nd floor was almost filled up.
she said she was ok.
all the "good" slots on the 2nd floor were taken.
we choosed a brighter slot on the 3rd floor near the front
door where the wind blows in.

6) the nurses cleaned my dad, dressed him up in clothes
that my mum & peng soon brought from home & covered him.
my mum & brother said their goodbyes.
after that things just happened very quickly.
we talked to the funeral guys, planned & arranged for things
to be done etc.
there was hardly time to grieve at that point in time.

5) dad's last night at the hospital :(
i slept next to him on a reclining chair, watching the
blood pressure/heart rate monitor. i kept telling him i'm
taking him home. it's his birthday the next day.
i kept looking at it blink the whole night. his readings were
way below the "safe" bracket. i kept praying it would stabilise.
when i woke up at 5.30am, 3 nurses were standing around him.
my heart dropped. he had stopped breathing. they told me his heart was still beating but very slow.
i quickly called peng soon & went back to talk to dad. i watched the heart beat monitor graph flatten.
he was gone.
