To reminisce my grandmother (continue)

With my age increasing, I was becaming taller and taller, and yet my grandmother was became elder and elder. Later I had to enter higher and higher school as usual the other cotemporary persons so I had less and less chance to visit my grandmother.  I only can learn something about her from my mum. She was still so laborious and busy then. In fact, She have four children, two daughers and two sons. My mother is the biggest one of them. If needed, she should have arranged her children to do it. She hardly asked them to do somthing for her.

She always tried to do anyting she could. She was very healthy then. One time, in the Autumn of 1994, when she was seventy years old, she went out to fell trees for firewood by herself without informing her children.  When she finished felling, she came back and ask my yong uncle to help her to fetch it.  When my uncle arrived the hillside, he was so surprised to find so many tree branches bundled one by one.

Later, I entered into the college, very far from my hometown. I had only one or two chances to visit her. Everytime I arrived her home, she always asked me to stay there fro some more time as soon as possible and always tried to do some delicious food I had liked. In her view, I was always a good student and study well so she hardly queried something about my study. Yet, she sometimes maight enquire something about my university and my life. She also enquired if I had a girlfirend.  Iin her opinion, I was grown up.

A sorrowful news was brought to me in the winter of 1997.  Then I was a grade four student ans was gradulating. My brother phoned to me that my grandmother got a gastric cancer, the later period. I was very sad and cried for a long time. In the last winter vacation of my college, I met my grandmother for the last time. Then she was very sick and looked very pale and looke like only skin and bone.  We were all in great grief and yet could do nothing. It's the last time my grandmother talk with me. She asked me only to make a good care for my parents as the same with before.  It's the only thing to  keep noding that I got to do then. Yet I can not tell anything worrying about herself.  Later, in the spring of 1998, when my brother phoned to me for the second time, I realized that was coming and it did. It's the first

It's a long time far from now. I often miss her.
