I woke up to a call from Gavin. It was a terrible call bearing terrible news.

Aunt is not going to make it.

We rushed down. I couldn't remember what happened. I only remember reaching the hospital, and seeing my cousin's crying face. Something bad.


I rushed in. She looked so much worser than how she looked previously. She wasn't like this yesterday. She wasn't. She told me to buy her a papaya yesterday. How elated I was to hear that she wanted to eat. I bought her papaya and papaya juice and remember feeding them to her and could remember hearing her tell me so many things. Could remember her saying that I'm a good girl. And I watched her sleep and I left, I didn't know that would be the last time I'd hear her talk to me.


Dear aunt you fought hard. The whole process is difficult, but you're so brave.

I'm really proud of you.


I promise to be a good girl, I'll study hard and I'll make boyboy and meimei study hard too.
Ill always remember you as the noisy loud and carefree aunt.


You will be okay soon. The tubes are out. It will all be over soon. You won't feel pain anymore. You will be safe.


I'll always love you.
