After my grandma, my grandpa was sent to hospital today...I feel painful when I saw into my grandma's empty eyes..her muscles on the face are flappy and down..skin smooth white but no luster..her body is skinny, much thinner than the last time when we were under the same roof. It hurts that I cannot read anything out of her shrunken lips. My mum said my grandma sobbed when even nutrition liquid choked in her throat and cannot get through.

My grandma lived a difficult life, lost her husband in the culture revolution at her 37, with 3 kids, the biggest 12 year old. She brought up the 3 kids by her own and never married again.

I regret a lot that I didn't talk much with her when she can articulate and I can understand..The most ordinary communication becomes so inaccessible...

 

Dear family and friends, keep healthy for ones loving you. And spare time talking with them whether you have time or not, as you never know when you will lose.
