I want to thank God

I am back in Edmonton after spending two weeks in Calgary. It has been one of the darkest moments in my life; arriving at the hospice to see my Aunt Amanda and seeing her condition deteriorate and dying in the next two and a half days. Days just passed by with a lot of arrangements to be done for the Funeral Service and arrangements with the Funeral Homes to bring her body back to Malaysia for internment. There were a lot of tears and sadness shared with my other three family members who were in Canada for my Aunt Amanda.

But in spite of the pain and somber mood that I am still in, I want to thank God.

I want to thank God for guiding me to make the right decision to go to Calgary
I want to thank God for letting me say my final farewell to my Aunt Amanda
I want to thank God for letting me be a part of her last few moments
I want to thank God for giving me an opportunity to say a prayer for my Aunt before she passed away
I want to thank God for the dream of a beautiful place with pretty flowers He gave to my Aunt before she passed away
I want to thank God that I was there by her side when she drew her final breath
I want to thank God for the peaceful manner my Aunt passed away
I want to thank God for letting me be a comfort to my family
I want to thank God for giving me the opportunity to be there supporting my family and planning the Funeral Service
I want to thank God for friends who supported and comforted me during this time

Most importantly, I want to thank God for being by my side.
