Passing Of A Love One - My FIL

It's difficult when we face the fact that we have lost someone dearest to us.

Last Sunday @ 3rd August 08, my father-in-law (FIL) have passed away in the morning. We receive a call from the hospital early in morning but they didn't mentioned anything during that time, they only requested our presence as soon as possible. Possible, they wanted us to be in a stable and calm condition to drive to the hospital. Upon arrival, only then they break the news to my wife that her father have moved on.

My FIL have been admitted in the hospital almost a month now due to stomach & liver cancer (Same case as my late mother-in-law a year ago+). Due to the cancer, he also lived through a stroke but were paralysed.

When i heard the news, my immediate reaction was not sad but a sense of relief for my FIL, for i know he doesn't need to suffer anymore, no more Morphine injections, no more self-frustration and no more pain.

My FIL is now resting in peace now in Setiawan where he is buried close to his parents and siblings. Back to the place where he grew up, the place where he is known to all and love by all.

I would like to take this opportunity to thank all the friends and family members who contribute and attend the funeral service.

But most important of all, this post is dedicated to both my late MIL and FIL who approved the hand in marriage to my precious wife who in return gave me a precious son, Zen.
