It has been a long time since I last visited her and spending quality time with her.
She is still as loving as before, as caring. She immediately agreed without having any second thoughts when I asked if she can make Kueh while I take photos. I am very grateful that she could help me with my project.
I'm glad that everything was going on well as planned.
When my brother came along to visit her too, she immediately cooked a bowl of porridge for him. This is what I call unconditional love!
Despite her age, despite being weak and tired, she served our needs immediately. Not that she did not do this the last time but it is because she did it ALWAYS!
When I was still in kindergarden, she would often buy sweets for me to share with my classmates. After school, despite me being unreasonable and noisy, she would buy me an Apple Pie from McDonalds' and walk back home with me without complaining.
God is good. He is also very loving, his unconditional love can never be taken away. I pray that my Grandma's health would improve and I hope she would live a little longer.
My biggest wish for now is to see my Grandma getting to know God. Hopefully she would be open. I can't imagine how did she survive everyday living alone in an apartment all by herself.
Small things like serving people's needs, the smallest details can already speak a thousand words describing how loving you are, how caring you are, that if you would go the extra mile for people.
Talking about extra mile, few years ago my Grandma made Rice Dumpings for the whole family including my cousins. She would carry the Rice dumpings from her place all the way to my place then to my cousin's. It might sound easy and it is a piece of cake for you and me, as young people. But it is not easy for her. She walked the extra mile to visit us and give us the Rice dumpings.
She made it and send it to us was an extra mile for her. I said to myself and remind myself to visit as often as I can, whenever I can, be it that I have to play less, sleep less, sacrificing my sleep or even spending more money. I want to go the extra mile for her, for people just like God's unconditional love for all of us.
So people, give our best, we have only one life to live. Live it to the fullest!
