We heard from our family doctor, our good family friend, dr. chng last weekend that my grandad fell off his bed. he is 86. i entered mum's room and she told me of the news. her eyes were red and she looked extremely worried. mum then texed my aunt and she confirmed it. we called my Tok Bah right away to persuade him to go to the hospital and get it checked. as usual, he didnt want to and changed the topic to Aidan.
We kept on persuading him by carefully choosing our words and layering it up with a few jokes so that he wont feel pushed or forced.
Before we hung up the phone and said our goodbyes, this was what he said to me:"jaga cicit saya tu baik baik. didik dia betul betul. i would want all of you to come back for raya one day" and my eyes started to water. holding back my sadness, i said "insyaallah (god willing) i love you tok bah". went into the bathroom and cried, but of course, without mum or anyone seeing me.
My aunt's bringing my grandad for an x ray today and hopefully there's nothing serious.
At times like this, i wish malaysia is only an hour away and i can fly all of us back home. and at times like this i am grateful and thankful regardless whatever problems and worries we are all facing, we are alive and well. alhamdulillah.
I hope these two pictures will merge, and become one, hopefully Aidan will meet his greatgrandparents one day.

Hope he's ok.
Actually, am curious, with most of the family being out of Malaysia, do you guys come back and meet up like occasionally with the rest of the relatives in Malaysia?
pray & hope he'll be fine.
Salam eid mubarak for you & family.

Get well soon tok bah !
Selamat Hari Raya Zaza,

Hi Zaza & family
I'm glad that your grandfather is okay. Insya Allah when you plan your trip back to Malaysia, he'll still be around.
Here's wishing you Selamat Hari Raya, Maaf Zahir Batin.

Dear Zaza, real sorry to hear about Tok Bah. I know how you and auntie feel. Ayah fell into the drain recently and fractured 2 of his ribs. I was really anxious and worried but I reassured myself that everything will be fine and bersyukur sangat2 as it can be worst.

I hope everything is fine with your grandfather now.
guys, thank you ever so much for your kind thoughts and wishes. he's ok, spirits are high but the x ray results shows that it was quite a nasty fall. and since he's got osteoporosis, he cant afford to have another fall. he has be be really careful. he's old to have a speedy recovery, so in time, i'm sure the pain will go away.
thanks guys..
