I have a great grandma living in Simei ever since my family moved in. She was so noble and took care of all of my siblings and I unconditionally. She even gave up her job to take care of us 24/7. Every morning she will be the first to wake up, and filll the house with warmth. When we woke up, she will be worrying about our meals more than we do. She is always thinking of our well being all the time. She was so kind and sweet. The day before yesterday, I went back to Simei for the first time since a month ago. It was her birthday just few days ago, but I only knew it when my grandma told me, which was a day after her birthday. Once I stepped into the house, I looked for her immediately. It was so long since I last stepped into the house looking for her. We always thought that she is too busy-body when she asked repeated questions that we teenagers do not like. We often neglect her. The moment I saw her, I grabbed her hand and wished her happy birthday for maybe the 90th time, deep from my heart. I wanted to give her a kiss, but I became a traditional asian. So I saw her ever glowing smile and she humble-ly said it was over and there is no need for that, although from her smile I can see that she was over the moon, that people still remember her birthday. When I took a closer look at her face, I can see that she is ageing, week by week, and anything may happen to an elderly who no longer have much strength to walk and have to travel by wheelchair. My heart felt the pain. I want to let her know that I loved her and am very thankful for all the things that she had done not only for me, but for the whole family, past-present-future. I have nothing for her birthday,but if she understands english and know how to use the internet, I will show this entry to her, and let her know that she is still very loved by the family. All the childhood memories that she gave me, I will never forget. I want to be filial to her and make her happy in her last parts of her life. I want her to attend my graduation, marriage, and take care of my children. I want her to be loved. Great Grandma, we love you.
