Whenever I see old couples strolling together, holding hands, and with love radiating from their being together, I just can't help but wish the same for me. I mean, who wouldn't? Theirs is a love that prove that forever can exist.
My friend's grandparents are like that. Although, when I first saw them I thought they were always fighting because they were always shouting at each other. It was later when I found out that their ears are not okay anymore, so that was the reason why of their "shouting"..hehehe..They really are fortunate to have found a love that's true and lasting that they have overcome so many trials together.
However, their days are now numbered. Grandpa is diagnosed with stage 4 brain cancer. But both grandpa and grandma does not know that. All they know is that grandpa suffers from vertigo, arthritis and UTI. It is really a heartbreaking news, most especially now that my friend is pregnant with her first child (who would then be their first great grand child). I hope that the saying that "when someone new comes to life another would be taken" to balance the world.
Still, the family is positive that even though it may come to that, it is best to enjoy the time he has with us. Which is why, they are coming to visit us this month from the mountains. And, with prayers, grandpa will live to see his great grand child and spend the new year with him/her or better yet, that cancer will just miraculously disappear..hopefully :)
