回去了 Going home

我的阿嬤昨天早上回去了,享年85歲。

這兩個星期來都在忙學校考試的事情,跟阿嬤說過,她總是回答:「挖災挖災,沒關係。」

弟弟出國去波蘭前,有和舅舅去看她。那時她意識還清楚,會笑。

考完試後星期六晚上,有個已經答應的尾牙要去幫忙。帶了朋友們去幫忙,所以還沒有去看阿嬤。

星期日早上要飛加拿大前,去看了阿嬤,剛好接到醫院病危通知。到的時候,我看見她已經失去意識,心跳也很慢,曾經一度到零bpm。眼睛微張,可說是只剩下呼吸。

爸媽如何在她耳邊叫她,她都沒有反應。

大家輪流跟阿嬤說了話,媽說:「媽,妳病都好了,都不會痛了。」

又說:「阿密陀佛來接妳,妳就對祂走。」

後來輪到我到她耳邊說話。

說完後,阿嬤雖沒反應,但她流淚了。

看到她的樣子,我很難過,不過我沒在她面前哭,在她的面前,我哭不出來,我不想讓她對大家留戀。人都會有走的時候,沒關係。

最後一次看完她還有呼吸後,我出來病房外,失控的大哭了。還好家綺有安慰我。她幫了我好多忙,謝謝妳。

自己好沒用,26歲卻沒讓阿嬤享到我該給她的。雖然我長大後和阿嬤在一起的時間不長,但還是有個牽絆。

還好我有到醫院陪過她,還好我有在她最後一次出院時去看她,也還好有煮飯給她吃,還好我有告訴她我會成為獸醫師,還好弟弟剛好回來有見到她。

聽說 . . .

阿嬤那天是在等我,所以才會我到後說完話不久,就走了。

阿嬤,我永遠都是妳的孫,能當妳的孫子我很幸福,謝謝妳。

My grandma passed away at the age of 85 last morning.

For the last two weeks, I had been busy with school's final exams. Even though I'd told about it, she always answered, "I know. I know. Don't worry about me too much."

Before my brother went to Poland, he had a chance to go see grandma with my uncle. At the time, she still had clear conscious. She talked energetically with them.

I had promised to help an annual party (year end party) on Saturday night. I brought my friends with me, so I didn't have a chance to go see grandma on Saturday.

Before I fly to Canada on Sunday the next day, I took a detour to go see her and on the same morning, my parents received a call from hospital about my grandma's condition. When we arrived, my grandma had no consciousness and her bpm reached 0 several times with really weak breath. Her eyes were barely open.

No matter how many times my parents called her, she had no reaction.

Everyone took his/her tern to talk to grandma. My mom told her, "mom, your illness has gone away already; you are fully healed and you suffer no more pain."

She added, "When Namo Amitabha comes, go with Amitabha."

Then it was my turn to speak at her ear.

After I spoke to her, though she had no reaction, she teared.

Seeing her makes me really depressed. Nevertheless, I didn't and couldn't cry in front of her, because I didn't want her to leave worryingly. Everyone has his/her time.

That was the last time to see her alive breathing. I walked outside and leaned against a wall. I lost it, a complete break down. Thankfully, Tanya was there. Thank you.

I feel so useless; I couldn't give what should be given to her at the age of 26. Though I didn't spend much time with her, we still have a strong bond.

Fortunately, I spent some time with her at the hospital before. Fortunately, I went to see her the last time she was at home. And fortunately, I cooked her meals. Fortunately, I told her I will become a vet. Fortunately, my brother could go see her before he left for Poland.

They told me . . .

Grandma was waiting for me that day; she left after I spoke to her.

A-ma, I am your grandson and always will be; I am really fortunate to be your grandson. Thank you.
