My 2 cents
Family Time is Important
I agree with the scene where the grandson’s younger sister says that “TIME” is what the next generation can’t give to their parents or grandparents. The scene when the grandmother puts on nice clothes on every Sunday, she is waiting/hoping that her children/grandchildren will come visit but in the end none came. At the end of every week, she is longing for that little bit of happiness from her loved ones. This makes me think of my late mother. My regret is not visiting more often. If you have a parent that you rarely visit, consider spending more time with them when you still have a chance to do so.
Appreciate Family When They Are Still Alive
As part of the family tradition, we will often put food offerings for our ancestors during funerals and prayers. My brother-in-law once commented that we should be buying them the food when they are still alive and not when they are no longer around. Of course, there is no wrong in doing so. But just remember to treat your loved ones when they are still alive.
I Would Recommend Watching The Movie “How to Make Millions Before Grandma Dies” on Netflix
Let’s end this post with one of the funny scripts from the movie.
Grandmother: The early bird gets the worm.
Grandson: The worm that wakes up early is the first to be eaten by the bird, the ones that wake up late survives.
