Ageing society
I think we have all grown up, and reached an age whereby our grandparents are getting old. Its just too much of an coindence. I just read Shiyin's blog about her grandmother. Then 5 minutes later I asked Jian about his MSN nick which happened to be refering to her sick grandfather. So it just spurred a thought in me that at 21 years old, we have all grown up, and that means our parents and grandparents especially are getting older, and older.
I have already attended at least 2 wakes of my close friends' grandparents over the past year. Not counting some which I did not attend or did not know about. This are all processes of life but I cannot imagine any of my 4 grandparents whom have played such significant roles in my life leaving us behind.
Whichever religion you believe in, do pray for your grandparent's health. And don't wait for regrets. Remember the ones who protected you when your parents wanted to hit you? Remember the ones who insisted in giving you the 5 or 10 dollar note, sweets and chocolates no matter how many times your parents says NO? Remember the ones who buy toys for you and bring you to Swensens at the expense of getting "scolded" by your parents?
My ah ma is going for her op this coming wednesday evening. Please do pray for her as well.
When was the last time you visited your grandparents? If it has been more than 2 weeks, maybe you should do so this weekend? Or to the very least, give them a call and ask them how they are?
