minute you were gone

Mum came back from work just now and told me Uncle Suhaimi has gone to a better place. Remember my previous post on the 30th November, I wished him Happy Birthday. And now he's gone, it happened in a blink of an eye. Rest In Peace, Uncle Suhaimi, For all the good memories that we've shared. You are like my second family, you are such a strong man. You fought the cancer cells for 3 years, you lived long. You did great. Everyone would be utterly happy, blessed and pleased to have a great husband, father, uncle and friend like you. My family and I seriously will miss you, well we are missing you already. Thank you for all of the good deeds you've done toward us and we are precisely sorry for everything Uncle. You will be dearly missed. Oh well, here's something to bear in mind.

Because I could not stop for Death,
He kindly stopped for me;
The carriage held but just ourselves,
And Immortality.

We slowly drove, he knew no haste,
And I had put away
My labour, and my leisure too,
For his civility.

We passed the school where children played,
Their lessons scarcely done;
We passed the fields of gazing grain,
We passed the setting sun.

We paused before a house that seemed
A swelling of the ground;
The roof was scarcely visible,
The cornice but a mound.

Since then 'tis centuries; but each
Feels shorter than the day
I first surmised the horses' heads
Were toward eternity.
