Grandma!

Do one have to wait for their near death to hear their children say I LOVE YOU? 
It was only at my grandma's death bed that my dad forgave his OWN mother. 
It was only then that we as grandchildren thought about how loving our grandmother was to us! 
It was only then that her children say I'm sorry.
It was only then that 3 out of 4 of her children came together as a family, supporting each other without fighting.
Even after she died 2 of the siblings fought. They couldn't look each other in the eye. Telling everyone else how angry they were to each other.
1 did not even shed a tear when news of his mother passed away was passed to him.
All they could ever think is" Yay! I do not have to pay for her medical bills anymore." 
1 grandchild even said this" Just because grandma died I did not get to fully attend a camp." 
Most grandchildren asked" Why do we have to follow this STUPID tradition?
1 of her children was really reluctant to join in the funeral as he has to pay the bill of the funeral.
Her sister's grandkids cried during her funeral when even all her OWN grandkids did not even shed a tear. 
Even at a day like this we acted so cold towards her. What has she done towards us to make us treat her this way?
When all I can think of is that she has treated us with unconditional love which we all pushed away. 
Ah Ngan I love you and I'm sorry for what I have done and said! 
I miss you a lot as you were my only grandma I know. 
It was really great having you as a grandma.
You were awesome with your generosity. 
I REALLY MISS MY GRANDMOTHER. if only i could turn back the time, i would savour all the time i had with her.
