I received sad news today that my grandma in Hong Kong had passed away. She had been in the hospital for two weeks and had become unconscious a few days ago, therefore her passing was not unexpected but the news was still quite sad. Yvonne and her family are currently visiting Hong Kong and had visited Grandma in the hospital. So I was shared the details from my sister as well as from my uncle via Whatsapp. According to Uncle, Grandma was not in too much distress and passed peacefully. She had c
elebrated her 100th birthday recently, and according to my stepmom, after the big Chinese celebration a couple of days ago, Grandma was indeed 101 according to the Chinese tradition. We all are very proud of her longevity and how strong she was. She was not even taking any chronic medications. In our own comfort, we are glad that we had visited Grandma in April and that the boys had a chance to meet their great grandmother. While we were visiting, she was quite alert but very forgetful; she kept reminding me that she was 100 and that we should not wait that long to visit again. With that, I was mentally preparing another trip in possibly three years to visit her again, but now I guess we will not be going back to her little apartment in Hong Kong.
