Before starting off, I wanted to give some general background about my grandma. Due to some family matters, she was brought to the old folks home. All of us knew that she doesn't want to stay there however we weren't given a choice. She stayed there for about 2 years. We see her aged and her health is getting poorer. The saddest issue is to see her swollen foot.
Finally my cousin can't bear to see her suffering so he decided to fetch grandma home and look after her by himself and his family. And she was sent to his home by ambulance yesterday afternoon. We are really thankful to him. Without him, my grandma couldn't fulfil her wish (which is to go home rather than ending her life at the old folks home). Usually older generation will have such thinking.
And so, my mummy had been visiting my grandma everyday as she sense that her days with us are countable. Today I also went to visit my grandma together with my mummy after work even though I'm tired. I'm afraid that it might be my last visit (sob sob). When I saw her, both her feet were bandaged, her eyes were closed (not because she is sleeping) and she could only drink. Her hands and legs were cold and her body was pale. My heart is aching and got the urge to cry out loud. But I know that my mummy is sadder than me so the more I shouldn't cry.
Yes, people will say that it is part and parcel of life but who bear to see their closest kin to leave them. I'm cherishing every moment with my grandma now though she doesn't know is her granddaughter beside her holding her hands. I hope those people reading my blog will also cherish every moment with their family before it is too late. Don't live with regrets.
Ah Ma, 你将会留下一个最完美的回忆在我心里。
