ysbo18th October is the day i will rmb forever, a day that my family mourned for the loss of my dear cousin. i havent experienced such a heartache before and now, my whole extended family are in grief.

my cousin was a nice big brother to me. i grew up with him as i spent most of my childhood at my grandmother's. he lived there and the rest of the cousins, him and I played a lot of games, went down to get food and practically had happy moments together. i missed the times we played football at the living room, knocking the poles that hanged wet clothings. and my grandmother would start screaming and scolding us. we played his playstation and hogged the computers. and there were games when my other cousin and I won him. i really missed it loads.

but he was getting sick and frail as the day goes by. however, his condition seem to be improving and everyone was really relieved. and then, things turned for the worst. my mom and dad came home, crying and then, they told me " bryson korkor is gone". i was in shock. i dun believe it and i dun believe what my ears were hearing. but true enough, he was. i visited my grandmother's ytd and waited with everyone for the people to bring his body back. we all comforted ourselves, saying that its better this way. he wont have to suffer anymore, the pain, the suffering. but my grandmother couldnt take it. the way she mourns and griefs, and how she constantly said that " bryson bear to leave me, how could he go before me", i couldnt help it but cried non stop.

everyone was in really bad shape, nobody ate dinner except for the children. i was getting really upset because my grandmother's was the only place that held fond memories of him. as i see the new yr photo we took that was placed nxt to the tv, i couldnt help crying when i saw the picture of my beloved cousin. my grandmother was mourning and her responses were becoming nonsensical. funeral arrangements were made and soon enough, my cousin came home. i comforted my eldest cousin who is his sister and my grandmother. but things werent the same anymore.

as we see the photo being placed in front of his coffin, it was the most cheerful photo ever. my aunt said that it was the new yr family photo they had and it was the only photo he smiled so cheerfully, in chinese, can lan. everyone in my family and some others started breaking down too. my cousin was only 18 yrs old but i agree with one of my aunts, he had spent these 18 years very happily and memorably.

thats all i wanna say. i cant go on much further. his funeral will last till tmr. and his body will be cremated. i Thank all those who comforted me ytd. thank u so much for yr well wishes. all i ask is that u'll pray for him, that the lord will receive him safely in heaven with the choir of angels that escort him step by step upwards. and that my grandmother will find peace in her heart and accept that fact that he is in the lord's hand. and that my aunt, uncle and eldest cousin will find peace as well. in the meantime, this is the chance for our family to bond even more.
