Y'know, I have underestimated the effect of my grandma's passing on my mum. She seemed to have resumed back to her normal life the past two weeks. Okay she did bring up some things she remembered about my grandma, but she didn't sound too sad so I assumed she was just reminiscing the past. But today when I just saw a post on my mum's fb, I realise that my grandma had played too great a role in my mum's life that even small things like cooking a meal for my family can make her miss my grandma (because the pots were given to my mum from my grandma). I have always repected my mum for her love for my grandma, even though my grandma, being in the older and more conservative generation, likes my uncle more. (Idk where this post is going...) I may have mentioned this before, that my mum is one of my few soft spots haha. I cannot stand seeing her crying or being upset. So yea it's really upsetting to know that she hasn't entirely gotten over my grandma's death. I guess she just needs more time.. I can't imagine if something like that happens to me. Not to mention that I've only spent 19 years with my mum, whereas my mum has spent 50 years with my grandma..
