Grandmother from Burma...

Was showing some photo taken on the mission trip at the Old Wanka village near the Thailand and Burma border to my aunty. She then mention to me that grandma was from Burma too. She was a Burmese Chinese and came from a quite rich family then. Grandfather was in Burma for a time and met her and marry her there. Later they had to move to Malaya (that is what was Malaysia use to be call). And aunty mention that she suffer a lot as she came form a good family and do not need her work much and suddenly find herself in this rural area in central Johor far away form her own family… and now had to do house work and take care of the family… plus the pressures from the elder sister in law.

At the same time I was just wondering… what if they did not leave Rangoon for Johor?... what will dad be like in Burma in this bad military ruling. Then again I guess most likely they would have just move out too when things got worst in the country there.
