She pulled herself from her drifting thoughts and said, “This was in the past. I can now face it openly. Humans must die eventually; it’s just a matter of time. Your grandpa went to heaven before me. By the time I arrive, he’ll have become familiar with the surroundings. With him guiding me, I won’t panic.”
“Nana, you’ll live a long life. Grandpa would want you to cherish it,” River reassured her.
“Nana, you have us,” he added comfortingly.
Grandma May chuckled. “Live a long life? Yes, I do need to. I have to help my grandsons find wives.”
River interjected, “Nana… I’m still young. I’m only twenty-three.”
“You’re not as young as you think. When your grandpa was your age, he had already welcomed your eldest uncle into the world.”
“Nana, people from your generation married early. Times have changed. Now, we promote late marriages and childbirth.”
Serenity chimed in, “Nana, River is not in a hurry.”
River shot Serenity an appreciative glance for defending him.
Jasmine smiled and added, “Grandma May, you have quite a few grandsons. Those older than River are still single. I think it would be better for you to encourage them to marry in order of their age. It’s not easy, and it usually takes at least two years for them to actually tie the knot after being urged.”
Except for Zachary, the others were unmarried. It would take Grandma May at least two years of pressure on each of them to see them all married.
This meant she would need to exert pressure for sixteen years before all her grandsons could be hitched. By then, she would be nearing a hundred.
“I’m not saying River is in a hurry. He’s not. He still needs training. My grandson who is twenty-five is also single, which is why I mentioned it. If any of them are still single when they reach the age of…”
“At twenty-eight, I’ll apply pressure on them.”
