It's definitely one of the things I miss the most while being in London and I've been finding myself taking it for granted and not calling my Grandma as often as I should. Right before I left for London she was admitted to the hospital & hasn't fully recovered yet.
I ended up skyping with her yesterday afternoon for quite sometime and it amazes me how high her spirits are and how positive she is. The moral of this story is that while I was asking her how she was feeling, she kept telling me that when she was younger, she was always in and out of the hospital but her brother would tell her that if she was able to wake up the next morning and see the sun shining outside, she would be okay because so many people in the world wouldn't be able to. No matter how down she was feeling, how bad she thought things were, she was still doing better than so many others and she should feel blessed and thankful.
I found this on weheartit this afternoon and just had to post it.
I feel like sometimes I can get stuck in a negative rut and think "oh woe is me" but really, I should think about everything going on outside of my life.
Aw I hope your grandma is okay and ends up making a full recovery. My grandma is kind of in the same spot. She's not in the hospital but she's sick with stage 4 uterine cancer. The doctor gave her 5 months, and it's been almost a year. Not surprising though, she was always super stubborn and never let someone tell her what to do. she always is doing stuff on her terms.
ReplyDeleteBut your grandma sounds awesome. I wish mine was like that. She's not very nice and hates my mom, which is a problem cause i'm close to my mom. And your grandma skypes! that's SO badass hahaa
Oh, & that picture is really awesome and inspiring. I feel the same way sometimes too. <3
