Grandmother's Love (:
My beloved grandmother (:
I know its BEEN AGES SINCE I LAST BLOG! bet no one realize that this blog still exist ! Anyways, im not here to update about myself YET :P oh i truly miss blogging ! but i never stop writing for i love to write, so i have decided to share one of the things i wrote here. Hope it touches your heart as this is not easy for me to pen it down, but i would love to share the love of my grandmother :)
Before that, today i went back to look for the auntie that i bought my cute socks from ! and she still remember be ! :) she was so happy to see me ! and we chatted and she is also hokien ! so we ended up speaking in Hokien :) she is such a cheerful elderly woman that sells cute socks ! ehehe, then i continue walking around the mall and got a bottle of drink for her before i leave. Then she asked for my number ! haha! she was so happy and she pronounce my name as Ee 'lend' ! haha! she say she will call me out and belanja me ! So touched by her smile :) That made my day !
The last time i blogged about my grandmother was on Mother's Day and her birthday as well as the first month since she passed away. Oh, sometimes people say time flies, it really does, but to me, not a day went by that i did not think of my grandparents. It still like just yesterday that they were still cooking for me, taking care of me.. Sometimes you wish you could just freeze the moment because capturing it is not enough.
Sometimes people wonder why am i always so over-emotional about grandparents or elderly people. Maybe thats because I have been raised by an amazing grandparents and the warmness and love i had from them is nothing compare to anyone else. My grandparents moved from Taiping to Subang Jaya to take care of me. Everyday, they bathed me, fed me, play with me, watched me grow up. The priceless thing about family love is that they never get tired of doing the same thing everyday for their loved ones, though they might complain but they never stop doing it for the one they love. So why do you push your responsibilities away when your parents/grandparents grow old or sick? How could their sickness or old age become a "burden" to you? When they gave you all you need out of love. I think its a shame that some people just dont know how to appreciate their grandparents.
My grandma, haha, she is such a loving person (: When she smile, you need to look for her eyes ! heheheh :) I remember that when i was young, i could not eat spicy, so each time she cook curry chicken, she will take the chicken out from the curry and put it in a bowl of normal water ! i call it Ah Ma "wash" the chicken for me ! :P and and she always beat my butt so i would fall asleep ! and during the holidays, i would go over and be with her and i just take a small stool in the kitchen and just watch her prepare dinner or lunch. Then i would sit beside her sometimes when she is sewing as she will give me those leftover cloths that she doesnt need and i have a mini sewing machine that i used her leftover cloths to make nonsense ! haha!
The saddest part and painful part is that the last time I saw her was through a webcam as I was already in Perth and she.. She could not even breathe properly, what more talking to me. She didn't say a word to me though I kept calling her name. She was finding it a challenge to breathe and as I watched her struggled, my heart cried out for her so much. It's such painful thing to see and remember. I still feel it.
Our last Chinese new year with her was in 2011. My grandma had always been a very very cheerful person. She used to make her own clothes and her choice of colours are very sweet. Soft n lively. She is always full of live and love till cancer attacked her. That chinese new year, was my first and also my last time I gave her a Chinese new year present. It was a photoframe and a picture of us. Nevertheless, she love us so much that she still give all of us angpau. No matter what condition she is in, we are always her priority. Till the end, she still play her role as a loving mum and grandmother. Her concern for her family never fade away thought her health was poor. And that last Chinese new year, we didn't even a take a picture with her. It was when she had gone that I realize how little picture I have with my grandmother.
One of the most painful thing to do is to watch the one you love in pain and there is nothing you could do, but what is worst is that you had to lie to them. Assuring them that they will be ok when you can't even assure that to yourself. There was once, when my grandmother was at the hospital, she waited for everyone to leave the room and she asked me if she have cancer, all i can say was that she is going to be ok and asked her not to worry. But i think, she knew though we never told her. She knew, and she is really strong for going through it all..
I wish i was there to say my last goodbye to both my grandmother and grandfather, it feels like im always too late. So, when was the last time you call your grandparents just to talk to them and ask them how are they? Or, have you ever did it before? If you could, then dont wait till the day comes that all you can do is just to wish.
Ee Leen (:
Keep loving, keep smiling :)
