Completion

Went to the cemetery at Sungai Petai yesterday to visit the graves of Abah & Mak and then heard of the sudden death of Intan's mum just after midnight. We drove back a bit earlier than intended today to pay our respects. We'd visited her at her home about three weeks back after she'd been taken ill and Noi went to see her last week in hospital after she'd been readmitted. She was complaining of pain and her blood pressure was low so it was not an entire surprise to hear the sad news, but she was only in her middle sixties so there wasn't any of that sense of expectedness that follows a long illness & a life that feels completed.
