I don't know if you guys remember but a while back I wrote about that sweet old couple that are at the same nursing home my grandpa lives at..
the couple that were always holding hands.
The last time I went to visit my grandpa before came back to New Zealand at the beginning of the year, I didn't see the old man...
I thought nothing of it at the time..
But I remembered today and asked my mum how the couple was doing..
and then she told me that he had passed away..
OMG I'M SO SAD
LIKE ACTUALLY SO SAD
TT"
Who's gonna be there for her for the rest of her lonely days in the nursing home?
Now that he's gone, no one's there to hold her hand... no one to help her eat.

I don't know why i'm getting so sad over a couple of strangers..
but they gave me hope, y'know?
i think the part that makes me the saddest is that she's still waiting for him to come home everyday because her family has decided not to tell her that he'd passed away for fear that she wouldn't be able to bear it..
And because she's a bit senile.. she believes them when they lie to her when she asks where he is..
sigh.
i guess nothing lasts forever.

You're a very sweet person to feel this way for a couple of strangers. :)
ReplyDeleteIt sort of reminds me of Pixar's Up.
I feel for her also, I lost my granddad for about a year a half now, my grandma is widowed. Sure, nothing phyiscally lasts forever, but I think the world has been really good to them, to allow the both of them to be grey and still so in love. :)
Just cause he's passed away doesn't mean so has their love. What they have shared with each other throughout their lives will be inked into the very fabric of this world, and nothing can erase that, not even time, i believe. And they'll see each other again, whether it be in death or the next life.
ReplyDeleteawwwwww thats so sad :( but i like what bobby said!!!
ReplyDeleteMoral of the story: being old sucks
