Silent nights...!

Death is inevitable, this being a universal truth is so unacceptable at times esp. when it holds our loved ones in its clutches.
My maternal grand-mother is dying but i can't do anything about it; except mourning.
Her vital organs like liver, kidney, and digestive organs have completely stopped functioning,she is merely suffering and we being her kids stand helpless by her side.
I remember those days when me and my elder brother would run into her arms in order to escape from our parent scolding.
or when she used to take us for veggie shopping on sundays and treat us with icecreams and chola batura's.
or when we used to accompany her on her shopping spree, in order to get our share of goodies.
or during summer vacations ,when she used to buy kilos and kilos of mangoes and we used to relish immensely. eating with all my cousins was all together an unforgetful experience. we used to hog on watermelons as if there is no tommorow.Life was so much then.......
we used to share all our problems with her and used to comfort us.
our entire world was in her warmth, she was above everybody even my parents
but today when she needs all that comfort and warmth, we feel poweless
I wish if i can give her the same comfort from her pains.
