My grandpa is a quiet man. Just now, during lunch he told me something very random yet touching. He said (in cantonese),
"You know, I'm most happy whenever I see you. It doesnt feel this way when I see the rest"
Then grandma agreed with him too and she mentioned that even with just my voice over a phone call already makes her day.
It feels really good to hear this from your old people, especially when you know that they appreciate your every gesture and effort. I personally believe despite our busyness in life, we should also spend some time with our loved ones, be it our family or extended family, and in my case, especially the elderly like my grandparents. I remember spending some of break time back in uni days, buy some light refreshment and drive over to my grandaunt's place to visit and it made her day.
My grandma always share with me on how honoured and proud she is to get to see me grow (she took care of me), chauffeuring her around, buy her meals and spend time with them. For them, they don't need the money or luxurious life anymore. All they need are just some love and care, the family essence. I believe your grandparents feel the same too. I can tell that she's very proud of me (my filiality :P) and she'd parade around bragging bout me or tell everyone that i'm her granddaughter and that I'm very good to her and let people be envious -.- (typical grandparent uh)
I love my grandparents.
One of my biggest fears is the eternal separation later on. Anyway, I believe seeds were planted and God will make them grow. Amen?

haha awww... dont we all love our cutey grandparents? hahaha. they're real cute man.
Not when they stubbornly spoil my lil cousins till they become hopeless brats that we find hard to tolerate. hehe
I totally understand that! But good thing i think we're not that bad la cause we're all so grown up.. so we wont simply accept their offer.
And omg, i was writing a resume on behalf of my 47 y/o aunt and my grandpa heard that she wants a laptop (home no computer), he actually offered to buy her a laptop. Man... at this age? 47 y/o? Hello! My aunt's working la! :S (SPOILT!)
