Last semester, I faced lots of hardships and challenges. The biggest was the sudden and unexpected passing of my elderly grandmother. While it is perfectly natural for people to age and die, it caught me off guard, and I could hardly hide my grief when I received the news. I spoke to her a few weeks prior to her death, and it felt unreal that she was now no longer with us. I used to have a ¡®bucket list,¡¯ of things I wanted to do in the future. The first thing I wrote on my list was ¡®Having a nice dinner at a fancy restaurant with my grandmother and family.¡¯ However, before achieving this, my grandmother left, and I thought ¡°Why didn¡¯t I try to do this earlier?¡± | |
