My Easter weekend

Happy belated Easter everyone! Be glad and rejoice for He is risen!

My Easter weekend are messy events of sorts. Went back to my kampung on Friday evening, reached there around 7 pm. After dinner (cold, cause we ran out of cooking gas), Dad went to the next bilik to visit my 'aya bilik sepiak' (next door uncle) who was not well. He's been unwell for quite some time already. Suddenly it got worse and he was coughing and vomiting blood. Dad and few others rushed him to Sibu Hospital. When they got back, Dad told us that 'aya' was admitted into the ICU. His BP was more than 200 and his lungs was collapsing.

The next morning went to visit my ancestors' graves. I brought flowers for my grandpa(aki Minde' / aki Enggit), great-grandpa(aki Giri), great-grandma(ini Nyipan), my dad's lil sisters, my favourite granduncle(aki Jugam) and my elder sister (we always refer to her as Kakak). Cleaned the area and prayed for their souls. The atmosphere at the burial grounds was so merry and crowded, it's almost like a fiesta. Visited my other relatives' graves as well.

Later, we returned home to Bintangor. Was so tired but I went for the Easter Vigil. Had dinner and then went to bed. zzZZZZZzzzz. The next morning, after Easter Mass, my cousin (aya bilik sepiak's son) called Dad to tell that my uncle got worse suddenly even though he was improving before that. Went to visit him in the ICU ward, he was no longer using respiratory support system but he was rather delirious. Cousin said that the Doctor told that aya had no chance for full recovery and his lungs,kidney,heart is failing. He can't even use I.V. drips or recieve blood transfusion as his veins is collapsed. Yesterday, he was transferred into the male ward and discharged today.He's still weak but at least he can down some fluids. Kasih meda iya merinsa baka nya :(

When we reached home that night, I was so tired that I slept before 10pm. It was a tiring weekend with mixture of emotions. I learnt also that another uncle (aya selang 3 bilik -Aya Umau) is suffering from bone cancer. Aduh! He's going for chemoteraphy next month if I am not wrong.
