I love my Grandma.. She is the only Grandma that I know. She is my mom's mom.. I have never met my dad's mom since she has passed away when my dad was 7 years old. All my life, I always love my popoh (the way I called her). She is very nice, kind, tender-hearted. Most of people would called her Nelin or Nenek Lincah, because in her age she still does lots of things. She has her own arisan group, she manages to cook for my mom and aunties every day (only for lunch), she loves to gardening, she does yoga and swimming regularly. She visits her child's house every Sunday, she does grocery shop by her own twice a week. I could say that she is a super popoh =D
I am very proud of her.. Although sometimes she has her ego, but I still know that deep inside she has gentle heart. I feel blessed that I am her dearest grand daughter =)
However, about 6 months ago something bad happened to her. Well, she is not in a good health. She has heart problem but it is not really serious. She does her check up routine 4 times a year. But this time is not about the heart. She fell.. Her thigh bone is broken.. She was taken to the hospital and the doctor said it was very serious. She did her surgery and it went well. however, since that day she hit her lowest point. She couldn't walk for the first 4 months. She has to depend on others.. She kept thinking that this is God's punishment for her. Suddenly, she become the pessimistic popoh and I don't like that. Amazingly, by God's grace and mercy, she healed well. Moreover, with lots of support and prayers, her spirit was back. She is back in herself and become more confident each day. I always say to her that God loves her and God will always protect her.
Then.. this afternoon I got a call from my dad saying that the 'healed' bone is broken again =( I was so devastated.. We still do not know how it happened.. Usually, I always accompany my popoh do her rountine check up. I could say I know for sure that she healed really well. the doctor even impressed by her improvement. However, since I moved to Singapore, I could not accompany her again. Popoh always rely on me in asking doctor of any kind of thing. Last doctor visitation was 3 weeks ago. Popoh has been complaining that her leg are hurting.. She could not sleep. Then, the doctor suggested her to be more relaxed and not push herself too much in practice to walk (popoh has been practicing to walk again since Jan). My dad said maybe she is too excited and pushed herself too much so the bone is broken again..
If you read this, please kindly pray for her. I could imagine that popoh hit her lowest point now. She has been there before and it took three months to cheer her up. One of my biggest fear is she will doubt God. last time, she felt that God punished her and God did not love her that is why she is suffered. I pray may God give her strength and faith. She will be taken to Singapore for her 2nd surgery. I do not know what will happen since the 2nd surgery will be more complicated compared to the previous one.. but I know God is in control.. if you could, please kindly pray for her faith in God so she will feel God's love throughout this experience.. also please pray for any medical procedure that she will go through.. it would not be easy to travel her from Indonesia to here.. Pray that everything will be alright.. I love you Popoh..
My beloved Popoh and Kung2
