Is this what we called Family?

I was shock to read this from a local newspaper, an elderly women died for 3 days before being found by her son in the house. She stayed with her son's family in a four room flat in Singapore. This was published in Xi min or Lian He Wan Pao two nights ago.

How can her death go unnoticed for so many days which I cannot understand. Although my family is not very traditional but it is always a habit to inform the elderly that we are back when we reached home and asked them how's their day. Even during the time when my grandfather was lying on the bed and could not walk, we will go to his room and check on him and my aunt will attend to his daily meals and needs.

Therefore it is no excuse for the family not to notice her death. So what is the difference from having a family and living alone, especially to the older generation which still believe that having family around you at your death bed. But for this poor women, staying with her family is as good as none.

Everyday there are one or two bizarre news that will really question us as a human? What is happening to us?
