My grandma passed away this morning, after 3 days in a coma. In a way it's a kind of liberalisation for her, to be free from the pain she was plagued with since her debilitating stroke 2 years ago.

She was still waving us goodbye when we were leaving after visiting her when she was still conscious. Seeing her in bed when she was comatosed was like watching her in a deep sleep, just that she wouldn't wake up no matter how many times we called her.

She took care of me since I was little and my parents had to go to work, my grandma. I think my grandma's very cool because she played video games like Metal Slug, Mario, Street Fighter on SEGA. And she was good at it. She was an integral part of my childhood, but over the years she slowly moved out of the picture as I grew up.

I guess everyone in the family saw the end coming, including my grandma herself. And suddenly all the memories of the past kept flooding in. My grandma's a Christian, so I should be happy that she's in a better place, but I can't help but feel an overwhelming sense of loss.

I feel sad. :(
