Cikgu Tam My Grandmother

My grandmother asked me the same question "Ann baru balik kerja ka ni?" every 3 minutes and I would keep on giving the same answer everytime "Ya Tok".

Tok is about 84 years old now. She stays in bed all the time but still has the strenght to attend to her every other calling to the loo. She stays with Pak Ngah and family and I could never thank them enough for taking care of Tok.

There must be a reason why Allah takes some of our memories away when we grow old. How would we feel waking up at 80 to find that most of our friends have either passed away or bedridden. How would we feel knowing that our favourite grand daughter didn't turn up to visit us last week ? Its good that Tok forgets sometimes as there are things that might upset or hurt her had she finds out. Not that we should take advantage of that but acknowledging the way of life and its rule would at least make us feel less sorry for them.
