Enduring love...
So touched today... Went for my grandmother's 3rd year death anniversary and something etched itself into my heart... Met my paternal extended family at Changi Village there to take a ferry to the spot where we casted grandma's ashes into the sea... Have been doing this for the past couple of years and don't really have much insight and feelings other than missing my grandma and the regular stuff... But I realised that my granddad, who is more than 80 years old and has a slight difficulty moving around, still makes the effort to go all the way down to Changi to pay his respects... Takin the bus and the MRT all the way... I was suddenly struck by his enduring love for my grandma... I realised that I have not been spending much time with him and feel regretful... But once I drive, I must make it up to him... Well, anyway... I thought back and realised that through it all, when my grandmother was sick and bedridden, he took care of her and never once did I see him complain about it or do anything grudgingly... In sickeness and in health... That's what it is all about... My granddad's a great person!!! Mid year resolution- must spend more time with my granddad... :) That is called love... Not the kind where people get together and break apart over the smallest slight, loss of feelings and all that nonsense... Imagine how he felt when his loved one is lying there dying slowly day by day and he can't do anything... But still he stayed faithful... And believe you me, it is not easy to take care of my grandma... Not that she was purposely being dificult but caregivers don't have it easy.. Of coursed he had help from my family... But I consider him the primary caregiver because he spends the most time with her... Oh well, before I slip into a melancholic mood, I just want to say publicly that I love my family!!! My mum, my dad, my sis and my extended family... :) P.S. My sis is so funny... She got the same phone as me and she knows that I may get upset so she is hiding it from me!!! Hahaha... But my mum told me and I am not the least bit angry... :P So cartoon she.. Still want to buy casing for the phone... How long does she think she can keep it from me? :P
