Growing old
Granny is sick. Writing and saying that out loud still makes me want to cry. Maybe that will explain to many of you, why I have not been wanting to meet up and seemed to have disappeared.
Every night after work, I have been going to the hospital to sit with her. No matter how late I end work, I make it a point to visit. It all seem like yesterday when I was alot smaller than her and she was chasing me around and getting me to behave. And it seemed not too long ago when I would accompany her sometimes on her trips to the wet market.
I hate my helplessness everytime I see her. I wish I could help her just as she used to take care of my needs when I was a child. Unfortunately, the aging process is not something any of us can be of any help. I can only hold her hand and encourage her and pray for her recovery. And accept the part of me that hurts so much.
