my poor grandmother

went back to work today and gosh, i realized im still quite weak cus i've got no strength to shout at my kids. auntie told me my kids missed me! its so heartwarming to hear that. :D

anyway, decided to drop by the hospital after work to visit my grandmother. didnt managed to go last night cus its like really late after mom knocked off from work.

she had this big bruise on her left side of her face and it really pains me to see her like this. she cant really move, so all she can do is to lie down on the bed all day long. its like she needs somebody to help her in whatever she do. luckily she has my aunt who's 24/7 there with her ever since she was warded in. sighs. old people really cannot afford to even have a slight trip or fall cus the consequences to bear will be much more than you can imagine.

waited for her to finish her dinner and i only left after she fell asleep. after i left, i was suddenly overwhelmed by the rush of emotions. just a few weeks back, she was still at my house walking around, sitting around on my bed, talking to me, laughing and sharing with me her lifelong experiences. and now? she's lying down on the bed in the hospital, hardly able to move. i was speechless for a moment cus i never thought that my grandmother would be lying down in the hospital one day.

even thou i hate to admit this, but my grandmother is indeed old. looking at her just reminds me of the days when she took care of me when i was still a lil girl, probably all the way from kindergarten days till my primary school days. 10 over years with her, thats how i grew to be so close with her.

but wells, looking on the bright side, she still looks fine on the whole. i hope she'll be discharged soon.
