bye bye mama

My grandma went home to be with the Lord yesterday. It's still sinking in for me and it's weird because I don't feel sad. I will definitely miss her heaps, but I know she was saved and that she is with the Lord right now. I prayed last night and at first I wasn't sure what to pray, but after a while I just asked God that He would take good care of my MaMa. By now I think she would have already gone through the induction tour of Heaven and has maybe even checked out her mansion. I'm sure it's fitted with it's very own never-ending-24-carat-gold-lazy-susan of yumcha, softservce icecreams, cakes, and meatpies. And she can eat all that she wants because she won't have to worry about her heart or diabetes! YEAH!

She is the grandparent that I knew and saw the most - my mum's dad passed away before I was born, my dad's dad went home when I was still quite young, and my mum's mum I only really get to see when I am in Thailand, and even then I can only communicate with her through my mum or through non-verbals. MaMa was a feisty one (she's a Cheng, it's in our DNA!) but she also had a great sense of humour and was always happy to see us - I will miss the way her eyes lit up when we called out to greet her. But I am sure one day, I will be able to greet her in Heaven and see her little eyes light up once again when we meet again.

God be with you till we meet again;
Ended when for you earth’s story,
Israel’s chariot sweep to glory;
God be with you till we meet again.

Till we meet, till we meet,
Till we meet at Jesus’ feet;
Till we meet, till we meet,
God be with you till we meet again.
