At one o'clock in the morning, my sister sent a message saying that grandma is gone.
105-year-old grandma left us at 0:59 on November 21, 2022. Because she had been in bed for the last two years, she was mentally prepared to leave us at any time. But when she received this news, she still couldn't stop crying like rain and was heartbroken.
Dear grandma, the soul of our big family has been around for a century. He has seven children and 21 grandchildren. Now the fifth generation is the oldest, who is now in elementary school.
Grandma's life was perseverance and had experienced countless setbacks and hardships. After going through the land revolution, the founding of New China , and in the 1960s famine, he raised many children and delivered countless new lives. In that era, he was the director of the district management, the director of the women's association, the midwife, and the barefoot doctor, . He was not only the backbone of our big family, but also the mediator of the villages. It was not easy to do anything well in that era.
Because grandpa is the second child at home, grandma becomes everyone's second grandma. In Nanzhuang Bei Village, whoever has conflicts will ask the second grandma. The second grandma says who is right is who is right, and what should I do about this matter, then what to do, because grandma has always been the most fair in handling problems, and it is clear whether it is right or wrong!
Grandma's life was hard work, and she always missed her children. There are many children and many things to worry about. When grandchildren are born, grandma has served every child's confinement period. All three of us were born in winter. At that time, there was no heating equipment at home, and we all survived in grandma's cotton jacket. It was grandma, who used her arms to wake us up, and used her hands to wash baskets of diapers for us in the cold river water.
We gradually grew up and went to school to live in school. We went home every week to carry pancakes for a week. The person who cooked glasses is always grandma, and the hot fire always makes grandma's face red and purple.
Every time we go home during holidays, grandma would pack the snacks or eggs he saved in small bags and send them to our siblings for food. At that time, despite the lack of material resources, we enjoyed the love of grandma and were still the happiest children. We also secretly swore that we must be filial to grandma when we grow up!
Grandma is the cohesion of our big family. It is precisely because of grandma's life that one thing that allows us to work together is to take good care of grandma!
Usually, whoever has time goes back to visit grandma and buy what she needs. On the day when grandma celebrates her birthday, grandchildren from all over the world can gather together. You must know that we are all married and have children. How rare is it to get seventy or eighty people together!
Today, grandma, left us forever! We rushed back from all directions to see you off, maybe this is also the last party for our big family! May we still be a family in the next life!
