Tomb Sweeping Day weekend 2014

On my way to my parents this Friday afternoon, I was informed that my grandma from my mom's side has kidney failure and is in a coma in ICU. I went to see her on Friday and this evening before coming back to Taipei. It's nice to see many relatives who I really like this long weekend.
My grandma, 84, who's an adorable old woman was always full of energy before falling down in a faint in her field a few years ago. She's devoted her whole life to her 9 children and 18 grandchildren. She speaks only Hakka, and I could speak only Chinese and understand very little Hakka when I was a child. We could understand each other most of the time! I miss her talkativeness, dishes and desserts.
