Bones

It was quite early in the morning when we headed back... we gathered at ah ma house... boarded the bus... and left... We were then led into the ash collection room... We waited... Someone called out to my ah gor... we went and she started crying again... in her hands, was a normal plastic box. Inside were all her bones... Her sons brought them to a room... us the younger generation were asked to wait outside. A few minutes later, we were then led into room... Everyone queued up and a uncle passed us a bone of my ah-ma and put it in the urn... We then washed up and got up the bus... We then drove to her final resting place @ Mandai. The priest chanted some stuff... and that was the last i saw the urn... Sealed... Closed... We prayed and burn lots of things for her... See you again ah ma... We missed you...
