Thank you <3
Yes I can comfortably say I can cherish the time we had and that I don't have regrets about not spending more time together because we did spend a lot of time together, and even though I've been living here for so long we still always spoke a lot. (Second mother to me basically)
Actually I went back the exact same time the year before for the exact same reason, my other grandma. Life can be very strange, can't it? But when that happened last year it really made me rethink my priorities in life and that was a big part of why I chose to go back in February to visit, because of realising more that life does always have unexpected turns around the corner. I think I'd be in a darker place right now if I didn't rethink things and go back in February while, as far as we knew, there was nothing seriously wrong and I could just blissfully enjoy family time.
