Today my mom went back from Shanghai with my cousin and my wonderful grandmother. Grandma spent almost two months in that foreign city in a small hospital where everyone spoke a language she did not understand. She was treated unsuccessfully and went home thinner and paler than ever. She did not have the strength to stand up now because she spent all those time on the bed.
But her smile was still there. And she brought goodies for her loved ones! That was amazing. I mean, despite her suffering, she still remembered her friends, children, grandchildren, nieces, and brought them gifts. I never remembered hearing her complaining about her situation. Wincing from pain, yes, but never complaining.
Jove, you have a wonder woman as a great grandma!

shanghai, oh, shanghai
Mom went to Shanghai last night, together with grandma's caregiver, planned to stay there for a month with grandma.
Sending Emak to Shanghai has been a heated issue in the big family. Too far, could be too cold, and too foreign for Emak. Yet it could be the best place for her cancer to be treated. Hope so.
The three of us decided to stay longer in my parents' due to this. We were supposed to move back when the little one is a month old, then my grandpa came, grandma too, then mom and dad were planning to go to China too... so we happily stayed back. Ha ha. It's so much nicer living with a lot of people who adore your chubby son. You get a lot of helping hands that way.
Anyway, now I'm kind of nervous with my new job: taking care of the house. Hope I can do that well.

first anniversary
It's our first wedding anniversary today. We went to take family photos and lunch with my parents and sisters since we were celebrating two events, our anniversary and Ling's cum claude graduation.
Jove was in his sleepy-blur mode during the photo taking, but fresh and awake when we were starting our lunch in Hanamasa. *sigh*
Anyway, both of us are really blessed to have this little soul so early in our marriage life. Never thought that we will have a bouncing three months old on our first anniversary! Delightful surprise? Definitely. A shocking one, though.
