This game has brought me and my grandma a final connection
My grandma is in her final stages of cancer.
A couple months ago I posted about how I sang to my grandma “Fly My Wings” while she was in the hospital. This became her favourite song, and she cried as it touched her heart.
At one point, I told my mother about Don Quixote from Limbus, and she showed me songs from the musical. My high school has a talent show and my mother recommended that I sang “the impossible dream” for it.
A lot of time has passed since I had sang “Fly My Wings” to her in the hospital, and her health had declined significantly. There was an incident where she wasnt waking up at our house and seeing it was very difficult, so I distanced myself a lot because I couldn’t bear the sight of her practically dying in front of my eyes.
I knew her time was coming. But I didn’t anticipate this happening this fast and suddenly. After my talent show where I sang the song from Don Quixote, she kept telling me how much she loved me. I hugged her after the performance and for the first time in a while directly looked at her in the face.
This was the *last* time I’ve gotten to speak to her where she is coherent. Same night, she went to the hospital and she hasn’t come back, she hasn’t woken up either.
The performance meant a lot to my grandma, the song did, and I feel currently like I relate to Don Quixote in a way. I’m watching right after my song, my grandma is letting go and dying.
I really wouldn’t have told my mother about Don Quixote if it wasn’t for Limbus, or would I have chosen this song. This song really touched my grandma, and I’m so glad it did. And that it allowed her to be with me that close, one last time that night.
