Grandparents

when i was on the bus, i was caught in the middle of this group of people. i was kinda sitting in between them. at the beginning i felt irritated when the elderly on my left talked to the lady on my right, i was like thinking why would you want to sit so far apart to talk? i felt it was a little inconsiderate because they were both raising their voice and i was caught in the middle.

it was only on the later part of the journey that i found out this group of people was link. they are sort of a family. infront of me sat 2 kids that belongs to the women on my right and the elderly on my left is the grandparents because the kids address them as "ah gong" & "popo". behind the 2 grandparents sat another 2 elderly couple. they were all chatting happily about their day, the whole conversation sound like they just got picked up from the airport and probably and blahhhhhhh....

the kids were snapping photo of the grandparents, they were all chatting and smiley. the grandparents were the most chatty ones.

being among them i can feel the closeness of this family between the grandparents and the grandchildren. they all seems to enjoy one another companion so much, something that i thought is going extinct in our society now. the normal scenario these days, the elderly always look so grumpy and they are normally on their own. their conversation always sound a little depressing. even if they are out with their family, they look like a maid! carrying their grandchildern bags and look so wear out or just at the corner by themselves. like so poor thing. well, just my observation.

i was staring at this elderly wrinkle skin. it reminds me of my grandmother who i haven't seen for so long. i miss her wrinkled skin, i remember i used to touch her skin it felt so soft. i miss her.

i don't know about you, but when i see a couple of elderly walking together my heart will go like "awwwwwwwwwwwww~"
