Unconditioned love

When my mother told me that my grandmother was in the hospital as she did not feel well and even was on the verge of the death, my heart was struck with the grief. I was fighting against the tears in my eyes. It is something I cannot explain of. I do not have strong relationship with my grandmother as we never talk to each other although we had chatted very little due to our language barrier. Yet when I stepped into the ward room, my tears started to flow uncontrollably. When my eyes met her eyes, I saw the tears in her eyes. I tried to speak but I could not. So I could only hold her hand as if it was my treasure. I wish I knew the Chinese language right now.
