Last Monday, Grandmother was seriously ill and had to be warded.

The next day our family and I decided to visit her. When we reached the hospital, she was resting in bed. My aunt and uncle had also come to visit her. They brought her some fruit and biscuits. My mother brought some porridge, which she cooked herself.

Grandmother was glad to see all of us. She often smiled. We sat at the side of her bed and chatted with her. My sister and I cracked some jokes to cheer her up.

After some time, we heard an announcement that the visiting hours were over. It was time for all of us to leave. We bade her goodbye and promised to see her the next day. She smiled as she waved goodbye to us.
