Kinship

Recently grandpa set his will, dad was given the biggest share among his siblings and since then my aunts seems to treat my grandpa differently. A few weeks ago, grandma was admitted to hospital. After everyone knows how much they are getting from the will, they didn't even bother to visit my grandma. I really don't understand.... All of them are filthy rich, why are they bothered by a few hundred thousand??? A few years back, grandpa wanted to give me a 3-room flat next to my current flat as a wedding gift with El but I rejected knowing how my aunts would react. Anyway El and I didn't make it to the red carpet at the end of the day. Does riches turned a person more greedy??

I have not seen my grandparents for almost a year due to my work. A couple of years back, grandma turned senile and couldn't recognise grandpa at all. But he was always there for her taking care of her and feeding her at every meal despite his age. Even though they have 2 maids at home, grandpa would still attend to her personally. Every night grandma would throw temper like a child and refused to sleep. Grandpa would seat with her in the courtyard until she is tired. I seen what true love is all about in grandpa. Its not about sweet talks or buying gifts for your love ones. Its about being with her through health and sickness till death do they part...... I am really touched by his action. I seldom get to see grandpa as he is always in Thailand attending to our temper's festival. He was the chief cook of the temper till his health deteriorates recently. There were times when I realy wish to put down everything here and go to Thailand to visit the temper. Grandpa says I can stay there as long as I want because it belong to me too.

Now that grandma is in hospital, he visited her every morning and stayed with her till late at night. While my parents were returning back with grandpa from hospital, they noticed he was limping, perhaps due to the everyday travelling to and fro hospital. I cannot understand why my aunts were all too busy to even pick him home. All my aunts were saying that grandma's time is almost up and discussing about splitting the jewelleries left behind. My thinking is if grandma's illness were to drag on, grandpa might be the first to die due to tireness.... Sometimes I really wish to visit grandma at the hospital but thinking of how badly she treat mum in the past, i can't forgive her.....
