last monday at about 1.30pm
my cellphone rang
it was my mum
she told me that my uncle got warded into the hospital
initially i thought it was nothing big of a problem
as he has been going in and out of the hospital often
due to his asthma illness
it was different this time round
my mum informed me that he fainted while he was at work
his heart stopped for 30mins before it was revived
but he slipped into a comma
at that instant
my heart drop
a gusty feeling swept across
deep inside i was already grieving
i rushed down to TTSH
only to see my aunts, uncles and cousin there
their faces washed in tears
there in the ICU ward
i see my uncle laying motionless on the bed
tubes and needed running through his body
his life supported by the beeping machines
the doctor informed us that his chances of survival is slim
even if he recovers
probably his body will probably lose its ability to function well
as his brain is severely damaged due to the lack of oxygen
my heart sank further
when that news was revealed
i prayed to God
hoping for a miracle
yet somehow i knew it was his time to go
uncle was the head of our family
a great fighter he was
he has triumph over death one time
he fought hard this time
his will power kept him going
till it was 12.54am
soaked in tears
i bidded our parting words
thank you uncle for being such a great uncle
always there to render your help and assistance
being there for my family and i
when dark storm clouded our sky
i love you uncle
and you'll be dearly missed
thank you again
for the 18 years of wonderful memories
i love you
