In which I reminisce about the past

Attending my grandmother's banquet this weekend made me reminisce about my maternal grandmother, who passed away 10 years ago.  She helped raise me, so even after all these years I still tear when I think about her too much.  If she were still here, she'd be almost 100!

When I was really little, I shared a room with my grandmother, and every morning, she would wake up around 4 or 5 am to go for a walk (a feat I don't think I could ever accomplish).  Once in a while, I would manage to wake up at the same time as she did (quite miraculous, now that I think about it), and she would allow me to go on a walk with her.  I really enjoyed those walks, despite how sleepy or cold I was.

In which I share my adoration

I normally don't carry a camera around with me (mainly because I like to leave my hands free) but I really regret not taking a photo of my granduncle leaving with his wife.  They are one of the cutest couples I know, and I love them dearly.  My grandaunt is practically blind and has a lot of difficulty walking (my granduncle has difficulty walking as well, but that's due to old age), but every time I see them leave, he's always there to hold her hand and help her walk.

In which I return to a semi-normal schedule

It has been a really busy 2 weeks!  I just came back from my grandma's birthday banquet last night.  She is now 91!  Now that it's over (and I have a somewhat more normal schedule again), here are some sketches from the past couple days.  I had done a Chinese painting of lotus and goldfish for my grandmother, but I unfortunately forgot to take a picture. =___=  I'll definitely be painting goldfish again though, since they're incredibly fun to do! =)
