      She reminds me of my Chinese neighbor who would feed my cats while I was on vacation. I would leave money in an envelope for her on the kitchen counter, but she never took it. I then left her flowers and she scolded me in her limited English that it's not necessary to give her anything for being a good neighbor. She was diagnosed with lung cancer and passed away in her early 60's. I miss her so much. She was the most generous person and took such pride in being a "good neighbor" to me. She loved my kitties too and took very good care of them.

      @F2PARTIES What difference would it make if the food was "FREE" or "GIFT" had her intention was all business. Many would take her wise choice of words as a lesson & learn from it. You are missing the many splendour thing in humanity. Besides, her diet of an early meal of vegetarian food before mid-day & her shaven head are strong indications that Granny is a pious, practicing 8 precept Buddhist.

    This reminds me a little of when I went to Japan. I was born there and left before I was 2 years old. When I was 11, we were living in Korea and my parents took me and my brother to Japan so I could see where I was born and started life. What I didn't know is there was an old woman who used to sometimes take care of me and she loved me so much when I was a baby. We went to visit her and she must have been in her 80s and she just cried and cried and said "Bikki-chan" over and over again. while hugging me. I don't think she ever thought she would see me or my parents again.

    4. Take her on a trip and surprise her with something special when she comes back. Gifts have proven to be effective
    I think she'd appreciate 3 since she mentioned how proud she was that her daughter went to school.

I went to a pho restaurant so much during college that they pretty much treated me this way too, but they let me pay. They would not let me tip. But they would let me pay. 😂 Grandma had scars from the war, she was missing a finger I'm assuming napalm because it was definitely burns but odd formations. I asked about them quietly once when she was playing with my long hair as I ate and if they brought her pain. She's the one that told me this perspective. I miss them, I miss finding candy in my pockets and bookbag. I miss being brought tea when I didn't ask for it but she decided I did. 😂 beautiful strong souls who radiate nothing but love.
