Fragility of Life
Alright, my grandmother’s been admitted into hospital again, period.
Its the almost 3rd of 4th time since she has visited there a few years ago , mostly due to diabetic conditions of further complications leading from diabetes.
Sometimes i really feel that old people are bunch of stubborn people, they refuse to heed the advice of people and carry on with the unhealthy dealings they are doing.
Take for example my grandparents, they folks know clearly that they are not really in the best of their health, yet they continue to eat all the most unhealthy food they can find.
What’s worst, my grandfather smokes, even with past records of heart and lungs problem.
What exactly is their problem i don’t get it, really i don’t.
Its not that i am trying to dampen the relationships between them and me, or try to be an unfilial grandson. The fact that we provide them with the best information and advices for them to lead a better life ahead, they just can’t get it into their head.
What’s the joy of scrimping every cent of them they have, only have to suffer the pain illness, which is going to cost even more money still.
Why can’t they understand that it is not going to implicate themselves but also the people around them. I can see my dad these few days, running topsy- turvy to and fro the hospital to visit my granny.
Well, its definitely the responsibility of a child to take care of their parents when they age. But do it have to end up this way where one is lying on the bed, while the other by the bedside looking after?
I guess what’s best is to get them to live healthy NOW!, yes now, before its too late. I’ve seen too many cases of illness due to persistent unhealthy lifestyle and i would not wish that to strike on any of my family members.
Its not a case of denying the role and responsibility of a child, but think of it. Wouldn’t it be good for both party if both can enjoy the bliss of family happiness without much suffering pains and trouble.
You guys get the punt?
You never know what’s going to happen in due course, start early and reap the good karma in the long run.
