Little Nonya.

What does I learn form it other than the obvious of remember your origin, perseverance, filial piety (孝) and be good?

Could we ever have too much of the above? My daughter in law sure think so of my son's filial piety.
My son has been thinking and finding a way for us to be more involve in our grandchildren, such as
1. staging for us to look after them so his wife can go back to work (she is on no pay leave for the past 4 years, after falling out with my wife who was looking after the kids then, detail maybe in later post).
2. moving closer to us (we gave up of the idea of them moving back with us, so does our son).

Our son has been trying all this years with no avail, either due to his wife or my wife (seem that it is quite difficult to put two women under one roof). Both me and my wife are hoping we are healthy and well till the day we die and if so unfortunately we are unable to look after ourself we would opt to stay in a old folks home. As we cannot imagine staying with one who has difficulty accepting us when we were healthy let alone if we are sickly.

Its the weekend again, the usually hope or hopeless.


Whenever it comes to weekend, we will hopefully hear our phone ring and hope that it will be my son who call to inform us that they (his family, our grandchildren) will be coming over for the day or not.


After 1 week of waiting, hopefully we will be given the good news of their visit sometime we are disappointed either one of the children is sick or my son has to work or ... ...


There comes a point where my wife begins to go into defensive where she would tell my son not to come over as we will be out even though we would spent the weekend alone. This is her way of preventing herself from being hurt when her hope is dash.
