my world is back to black and white

We shld respect and cherish our loved ones be4 it is too late.
I was afraid of you when i was young. Thinking back, I know that you caned us for our own good.
Rmb how u chased us with a cane and how we ran to popo for help.. u were so strong back then.
I'll always call mum after the caning telling her i dun like you and i dun want to go your house.
This was the memory I've of you. Being stern and strong.
Of late, you admitted to the hospital very often.
Weili gor gor told us tt there was once he brought u to the hospital. Both of you were waiting for the doctor outside the waiting area. You got impatient and went in and scolded the doctor.
And u always scold the nurses when u were hospitalised.
However, you became weaker gradually.
Doc said you still have 6 months lifespan. I thought i still can spend some time with you.
I didn't go visit you after you discharged last sat as i thought I can go other days.
Until mum called last tues that you were admitted again and was in critical condition. Then i realised that I was losing you. I rushed to the hospital immediately before seeking permission from boss to leave early.
When i saw you, you were breathing through the oxygen mask and relying on morphine to ease the pain. I could see that you were in great pain then.
All the family members were presented and praying for you. Doc said though you may not react to us but you could hear us. We reminisced about our childhood and assured you that we will be fine.
Maybe you didn't want us to see you go. You left us when we told you that we will come back later.
After receiving the call, we quickly make a U-turn but it was too late. You were gone.
We were all overwhelmed with grief after the last look at you lying on the bed. Oxygen mask and needles off.
公公, you will always be remembered.
