Ah Ma - Part 5 - Acceptance?

I was wrong.

Ah Ma didn't die on the 28th. That's only the day the doctor certified her as being medically and legally deceased.

I think Ah Ma died the day she couldn't open her eyes to see her children and grandchildren around her.

I think she died the day she couldn't hear our voices in her ear.

I think she died the day she couldn't feel us stroking her hand and kissing her face.

Maybe I'm just kidding myself. Maybe I never made it to Ah Ma before she died after all. But I can hope.
