Mothers.
So after all the post about emerge, I guess I have to write about something that I hear recently. This thing almost made me cry, for some reason. Probably my imaginations were too wild or something, I am not sure, but I almost teared. So this is what happened... I was having lunch with my mom and she was telling me about her friend's mom who recently got admitted into the hospital and the entire process of what happened. That particular friend of my mom does not come from a well off family, they lived in a rented HBD flat with no rooms, her parents are separated and hence she and her brother had to work hard to support themselves and their family. Recently, her mom is getting old and falling ill, suffering from diseases. Just like any other typical elderly, her mom is afraid of going to the hospital because of the fear of not being able to get out of it and they don't want to be a burden to the family. So she did not go to the hospital and continued to depend heavily on medicine. However, one day, thing became a little worse. Her mom suddenly felt breathless and hence she and her brother brought her to the hospital after going to the clinic. So she's currently in Singapore General Hospital. The thing that made me almost cry was what happen when she was admitted to the hospital. My mother went to visit her friend's mom on Sunday morning, not long after she got admitted. That auntie opened her eyes and asked my mom "Where is my daughter? Where did she go? Where is she?" Then she started to cry, thinking that her children don't want her anymore. The fact is that her children are still downstairs doing the administrative things before coming up to the ward to find her. My mom also told me that her friend's mom have been very depressed and all. I can't help but to feel sad for her :( Imagine one day you know how broken and depressed your mother is when you are absent till the point that they cried, won't your heart ache for them too? Yesterday in class one of my classmates also shared about how she felt when she lost her son because the lift door closed before her son could walk out. She said that "I felt like my heart just froze for a few seconds". Nothing in this world can beat the love of a mother for her child, whether the child is an accident or not, the love is the strongest, more than anyone else on this earth can ever have for you. I know, today isn't mother's day, but still I think we shouldn't wait till a particular day to celebrate the importance of a person in our lives. We must make use of every single moment, treasure time, use it effectively! (: PS: Look out for my post about Friendship Day on August 5! |
