It may sound typical to you but for me, it has turned my week upside down.
My grandma was in the hospital and last Sunday, she took a terrible turn for the worst. Dad was with her from Sat night till Sun morning and when he came back, he was in tears. That was when i knew something was terribly wrong. She was in and out of the hospital twice last month due to high glucose content in her blood, aggravated by her diabetic condition. And that Sunday, her kidney showed signs of malfunctioning and she was in pain...
When i went to see her at the hospital, she had changed so much, so old and fragile. My grandmother is in a critical condition, if the fact that the hospital allowed all 12 of us into the ward after visiting hours was any indication. For the third time in my life, i felt what near-death was like.
The next day, i dreaded going to school. But you guys have pulled me up and supported me till i felt better. Your company and smses have been a great consolation. Thanks a lot!
For the love of life, she has been recovering since Wednesday. At 90 years old, she is the strongest person I've ever known. She raised her nine kids single-handedly and made sure most of them received an education, no matter how tough life is...
And my Dad, who showed me the true meaning of filial piety. He stayed with my grandmother almost everyday, keeping her optimistic and cared for her every need. He would also be sure to visit my grandmother every week, before she was admitted. The best thing a child could give to his/her parent?-Love and support.
Love, care and support are always the strongest during such dark times, and i understood now. Family will always be what i treasure most, always. I will not be who i am without the care and love of my family.
Friends are a phrase of my life, but family is my life.
Yep, i am pro-family. Nevertheless, i treasure my friends too as good friends are rare and hard to find. Finally thanks to Jiaying and Atiqah, for being my pillar of support.
Great news, she is still recovering!:)
Stay strong, Ah ma! Do not give up, i want you to be there when i graduate from university, promise!
Your granddaughter,
Mun mun
