Remember Her

Could not  find any better

People say ""death is the only truth that a human faces in his life"". I dont understand whether they are  talking to the person who is dead or the one who has to c the dead.The only death I remember is of my AMMA(grand-mother) it happened a few years back ,She was a nice women and I was her favorite grand-child(at-least sometimes).My memory is still fresh with hers .I used to come from school and She would peal an orange for me and even ripoff the thin skin on each of its smaller piece's and it would appear more juicy and even it tasted more delicious. She even cooked food when our mother was sick (though none of us liked the food) I was living a happy life and couldnt imagine it without her.But God already made arrangements for her. Soon she started complaing about her sour throat all the time and the doctors recommended few medicines ,but when the situation got complicated and had difficulty to swallow food, she had a gut feeling that something was wrong. And yes the reports said it too she was diagnosed with Esophageal cancer. which was a shock to us because I come from a non-alcholic family with no history of cancer.But the shock soon turned into grief ,to see our beloved AMMA dying.I will salute my dad because he did more then he could . He was crushed between the responsibility and the job. Soon she developed gangrene on her toes I dont know when or how this happened but i almost lost all the affinity to her(though I used to c my Amma all day).And one day it happened (the nurse said she stared at the wall for long and without any hitch passed away). Her lifeless body was lying on the ground. I wanted to cry but didnt even had a twinkle in my eye .Within hours she was turned to ashes , the next day the only thing I could recognize was the metal stents that she had in her throat.


I dont see any change in my life except for the empty bed and  the only epiphany I had was realization that life just goes on.
