My uncle

Recently, I feel that uncle is not being happy at all. Everyday I can see only a long face from him. I dun know what kind of stress he has, but it is definitely not a good stress. He has been so unhappy. Sometimes I wonder if he hates us or he have other problems to think about. However, everyday I will see his sad face. I know he is having his menopause and that's why he is behaving like that. Sometimes I feel sad to see him having so many ache pain. It must be tough for him and my mom.

That day, mom told me something that makes me realize something important about him. She told me that everytime when our family come over to Guilin, he will not be happy becos he will always be the one buying the food and my mom will always be the one preparing the food alone. Not a single person would help her. I think that's true. Not even a thanks to him and my mom. He will always get so angry with mom for cooking alone that's why he is so upset everytime my family member comes.

I believe he thinks that we care nothing about him and we only enjoy the things he had like his money, spending his money is a right thing to do. But I hope he know that that is wrong. I want us to treat him like one of our family. Not to think that we only want to spend his money. I want to see him being happy with my mom. When I told him that day to be my witness, he is so happy the whole day. LOL!! I hope we can make him feel more comfortable with us and not think that we are just using him.

Honestly, I dun mind letting my kids call him 'ah gong' (Grandpa), and I'm sure he will be happy. Although my dad might not be happy but I know at least this is something we can repay uncle for being nice to my mom. I know we have been neglecting my dad and I hope I can do something to make him feel that we still love him.

I know this is a difficult situation but at least one of them understands, everyone will live harmoniously. I hope I can tell uncle that we do care for him and I know especially Fen and me, we always see him so sad and we tried to make him happy. Hope that one day, I will tell him that we do care for him and we want him to be happy just being with my mom.

I hope they can make a small trip this coming weekend with his friends so that he can have a change of environment and perhaps he will feel better and unstress himself. I hope we can make him more happy during these time and perhaps he will feel much better.
