My 103-year-old Grandmother

My grandmother (my dad's mother) turned 103 this CNY. Though healthy inside, her 5 senses have taken a dip since last year. She is not able to see, nor hear, nor walk but thank God she is still able to speak and consume food and drinks. It brings tears to my eyes that her world is silent and her active mind is not able to communicate with anyone anymore. Would love to tell her that I'm getting married soon but I hope God will send her this information through dreams. She is a non believer but I pray that God will speak to her before she pass on.

Some photos to share from my recent visit to her at my auntie's house.

My uncle in Melaka's neighbour's puppy. Super cute and because he kept smelling his own pooh, there's pooh on his nose.

Another cousin's daughter was quick to strike a pose when I aimed my camera. 






My other cousin and his ambitious two-year-old son trying to balance on a bicycle as his feet can't reach the floor yet.





A really creative, homemade antique bicycle. 











Another creative homemade pinball my cousin made.

Lovely post Sharon.
Wai po has been blessed with her 103 years (with more to come), but it's so sad to see her age is catching up with her.
It's lovely to see pics of you all and family I've not yet met. Thanks for sharing. Sx
