My Grandma

Last night, I sent jackfruits to uncle W and had dinner with his families. They told me that they would do some snack by themselves today, and invited me to had lunch with them.
Y is uncle's son, who is also my friend since we were child. His son is about 8 months old. His grandma lives with them, who has some difficulty with her listhing. She would give some food to the little. It scared the baby's mother X a lot and X would speak loudly and nervously immediately to ask the grandma not to do so. Grandma just smiled and said: I am tricking him actually.
I am thinking that if my grandma was still alive, what she would do to her great–grandson? But there is no answer to the "if" question.
My grandma died when I was in my twenties. It was the first time I attended a funeral. Before she died, she had been ill for about 3 years. I think she developed Alzheimer disease, because she couldn't remember anything about us in her last year. My brother is a medico at that time, he had the same thought as well.
I was working in another city when grandma was ill. So I had seldom visited her. When I saw her was suffering from the illness, I was so sad that I even was able to watch her for a long time. She couldn't eat anything in her last few months, so she was skeletal. I even wished that she could die soon so she didn't have to suffer from pain any more.
When I heard that she was dead, I was in relief. Months later, I felt sad from time to time. I realised that I don't a grandma any longer. Before I went to school, she took care of me. Then she went back to ancenstral home to live with my grandpa. Did we have a deep relationship? I don't think so. But I would visit her on weekends sometimes. She would tell me something when my grandpa was young and something happened in the small villaged. In the small town, sons or grandsons are always more important than daughts or granddaughters. Some girls are treated badly, they have to do all the chores and are not encouraged or banned to go to school. Because their families think that they will marry finally, then then won't give a pence to their parents any more.
But my grandma was peaceful to everyone, she didn't quarrel with anyone, or I never saw her show her appassionate love to anybody specially. Nevertheless I know that she loved my cousin and brother because they are male. But she didn't hate me like other traditional grandmas did.
As time flies, I miss her less and less. Death means gone, physically and mentally. Memory will fade as well. But hard life never stops.

(I wish that the entry wasn't confused. )

Last night, I sent jackfruits to uncle W and had dinner with his familiesy.

They told me that they would domake some snack by themselvehomemade snacks today, and invited me to hadve lunch with them.

Instead of using "by themselves," I used "homemade." I think it shows the same sense in a slightly more natural way. But you would also say "They told me that they would make some snacks by themselves today..."

Y is my uncle's son, who is alsohas been my friend since we were children.

Or, "Y is my uncle's son, who is also my childhood friend."

His grandma lives with them, who has some difficulty with her listhening, lives with them.

She would give some food to the little boy.

You can also say "little one."

I am thinkwondering twhat if my grandma was still alive, what she would do to her great–grandson? if she was still alive.

But there is no answer to the "if" question.

My grandma died when I was in my twenties.

It was the first time I attended a funeral.

Before she died, she had been ill for about 3 years.

I think she developed Alzheimer disease, because she couldn't remember anything about us in her last year.

My brother iwas a medicodoctor at that time, and he had the same thought as well.

I was working in another city when my grandma was ill.

When I saw her how she was suffering from the illness, I was so sad that I wasn't even was able to watchlook at her for avery long time.

Is this what you mean?

When I heard that she was dead, I was in reliefved.

I realised that I don't have a grandma any longer.

Then she went back to her ancenstral home to live with my grandpa.

You can also say "her hometown".

She would tell me somethingabout when my grandpa was young and something happened in the small villaged.

In the small town, sons or grandsons are always more important than daughters or granddaughters.

Some girls are treated badly, t. They have to do all the chores and are not encouraged or banned to go to school, or are banned from going.

Because their families think that they will marry fineventually, and then theny won't give even a pence to their parents any more.

But my grandma was peaceful to everyone, she didn't quarrel with anyone, orand I never saw her show her appassionate love to anybody specially.

Can you explain what you mean by "appassionate love to anybody specially"? Do you mean she loved everyone equally, and did not show favoritism? If so, you can say "... I never saw her show favoritism" or "...I never saw her pick favorites."

As time flipasses, I miss her less and less.

Feedback

Your entry was not confusing, and you conveyed so much depth of feeling. My grandfathers passed away from illnesses (cancer and diabetes). It is true that when you see them suffering, you are relieved to hear that they passed, even if you miss them. It's terrible to see a loved one suffer in pain. I'm sorry for your loss!

Thank you for the thought provoking entry.
