family- mother in-law

well frank did sang that the end was near. for my mother-outlaw, the end came today and by god how fast it was, after all the suffering she endured, death at around 8.30a.m. and buried by around 4 p.m. thats it, she is now facing her maker or as jimmy saville said, "just like thatttttttt.
just like her long deceased first husband, i was again on the spot and made all the funeral arrangements, thankfully in this kampung everything is organised via the ever-dependable hj sidek.within minutes of being forewarned, he came and all arrangements were set. typically, there were voices of discontent and absolute horror of horrors at the cost of rm2,000/- for all the arrangements and efforts, man, i was mad but will stop here in this mode as it's all over, why fret over it.
but i tell you, this lady meant a lot to quite a lot of people, the pre-funeral turnup was the largest congregation of relatives, friends and acquaintances that have ever assembled in my place, there were numerous relatives i haven't seen in ages. there is something important to ponder on here, why does it takes death for this to happen,why weren't they here when she was daily struggling to hang on to dear life, especially in her loneliness as a consequence of an AWOL husband, thats when she needed all the attention and company of all these people, not now when shes already gone and not able to bask in all the attention and the goodwill generated.
she could however take comfort that so many people sent her off and that the next generation of her offspring are about to embark in the defining years of their life and there will be lawyers, doctors, it professionals to carry the torch next.

yeah, why has she turned into a bitchy woman,you know who i mean-lah, these kampung folks are trying their best and of course they have their idiosyncracies but never, never were they out to try and cheat you. like all other bereavement, which are normally associated with last minute arrangements, by virtue of it being a bereavement, there will obviously be shortcomings, and can only be curtailed if you have an AGM upon the event coming to reality.how petty and low can one stoop down always amazes me, man, is there a technical specification or some sort of manual to cover proceedings upon death??? if one is the type to find fault, even einstein's theory of relativity can be microscopically denigrated to highlight it's shortcomings, eh, is there any?????now, you tell me so that maybe i can pass it on to these simple country hillbillies to digest. And do not ever fear death, as when it comes you don't have problems anymore, others close to you will have to sort things out. it's their problem. on this comforting thought, good night
