I fed my grandma like a small child.
I couldn't go to church today as I am feeling sick since last week Tuesday. The stress since the Christmas last year caused it. I have been trying to manage myself because I couldn't leave the whole cooking to my sister and cousin without checking what they are doing. Something about me is that I don't trust any of them to do it right because there would always be complaints here and there.
The sickness made me inactive on Hive even though I still show up to read a few posts and log out again. I couldn't write the last weekly edition in this community as I wasn't in the right frame of mind. I just didn't want to write something that wouldn't be good in the end. I had to make a random post instead about the incident that happened last week that made me get to know about the mysterious leaf in the forest.
Last Wednesday around 3 am, something happened to grandma that made everyone run out of their room to meet mama in her room. Her breath ceased and at that moment, different thoughts were coming in and making me feel for her because I can see it was almost time and she is already at her last stage.
Though no one said she should not go because she is already old (94 years) but we do not pray to start lifting mama here and there to pee or bathe. She also does not want such a thing as she does not want us to go through such stress and this is why she has always prayed for death to come for her.
Yesterday, I fed my grandma some egg and moimoi as she kept insisting she is filled up even when she didn't eat anything. I had to feed mama and was petting her to eat. She looked at me and was laughing. As I was feeding her, I thought of how she was fed like a baby when she was born and that is how life is.
Life is in stages and for who God has given long life, such a person will come back to act like a small child and those old people, their bodies would be fragile just as the first beginning of their lives. Mama's hand and skin were so soft that I could feel the skin of a baby.
Our prayer is that God should make us live long because I also want to live a long and good life just like my grandma.
This is another week and I hope to be more active than last week. If I would rate my activeness on Hive last week, it would be 3/10 because I didn't do much. But for this week, I will try my best because this year must be a different one.
Thanks for your time on my blog.

Sorry about that.. get well soon
Good thing to hear that you're already fine @princessbusayo. More years to come for your mother, and I hope you would not get tired to take care of her.
Sorry about it ma.. I hope your mother will get well soon... I don't want to think further about her situation.. But there's a miracle in praying.... Am I'm praying for her fast recovery...
Wow! 94 years old? Oh your grandma is so blessed having that age right now. What do you think her secret to reach that number? Have you tried to ask her about it.
That's sad to hear... Your grandma's situation right now. But she'll surely be happy and proud to have a grandchild like you. Take care of your health just like you take care of your grandma.
Yay! 🤗

I'm really sorry about your health. I feel for you. I do know how it gets when you're limited.
Life is like a mystery in a bottle. You're you today and a different version tomorrow. God who has blessed grandma so far, Shall welcome her to His bossom.

Thank you, @deraaa
That's too bad though... Try train them to your standard so that you will be able to comfortably leave the task for them... It will be great that way I believe
It's a memorable event you created now.. you will be able to remember this act for a very long period of time
It's great
I keep telling them each time but I believe when I am not with them, they will be serious with their tasks when there is no one to help them then. It is because they are seeing me around, that makes them act that way.
Alright
It's nice and heartbreaking at the same time when you see a person who was stronger than you, feeding you, is the one who needs to be fed by you. Life is in stages, and I hope God makes it better for every old person. (The post reminded me of my grandparents wo passed away.)

Yes, life is in stages and we will also get there someday. I believe your grandparents are resting in the Lord.
Old age is cool as we all wish to get there. But the best part of it is to have people to care for us at that stage.. I am happy for mama that she has her children and grandchildren looking after her. That’s all she could wish for at her stage.
Life is nothing but vanity. We shall all come and leave someday.
With love ❤️

You are very right. The happiness for old people is for them to see their children and grand children taking care of them and not leaving them alone when they need help now.
You are right..
