She wasn't there anymore
This year, my parents have been married for 40 years. My father's mother gave birth to 10 children, 3 boys and 7 girls. She is 94 years old and lives with my aunt. And my mother's mother gave birth to 15 children. She was 97 when she left in May 2021. My grandpas died before i was born.
My parents had to fly from Germany to Hong Kong to renew documents, last month. I had to organize most things, because the pandemic made things complicated. Looking at their photos, i can see mom wasn't that happy. Her mother wasn't there anymore. I got the voice message about her death from my youngest aunt. She was the one who took care of my grandma.
I didn't go, because i didn't take the Covid-19 vaccine. Hong Kong is very strict about that. It was also expensive, because visitors had to pay for their own quarantine room. While my parents were there, they also got to attend the wedding of a cousin. I don't need a big wedding. But i do want to be married and have children. I'm not complicated.
