Went for volunteery service today....it's juz for half a day....as usual, today we're there to understand the condition of the family n see how can we help to improve their living condition....230 pm was the meeting time at the void deck...there was only 5 of us for today....
jun jun gave a rough briefing of the family condition....the youngest daughter of the family fell ill abt a mth b4 her 21st.....she was running a temperature for abt 2 weeks.....one day in tt 2 weeks she slipped into a coma after lettin out a loud scream.....she was admitted into the ICU and her family was told to prepare for the worse....the viral infection caused damage to her brain....she might die or tt she'll nv b able to get well....but her parents believed in her....thou she couldn't move or respond at all after tt day....they still believe that she'll get better....
lookin at her sittin on the chair today......6 yrs after tt incident.....she's still nt very responsive but according to her dad, her condition improved over the last 4 yrs....she can walk wif support n make some sound.....compared to being bed ridden without any response when she was first discharged...they are very hopeful.....they are all very strong.....the unconditioned care and attention has nv decreased....the pain of almost losin this most doted member of the family could b seen in her parents n sister's eyes.....her dad resembles uncle a lil....lookin at how her dad cared for her reminds me of how uncle cared for auntie b4 she depart this world.....my heartaches.....the unconditioned luv they showered and nv to abandon or give up is something so noble.....how many ppl can really do tt...?
a pretty young lady at her prime...b4 she turned 21 lost everything.....i was hving fun and makin new frens in uni the yr i turned 21......she on the other hand missed all these.....nt only did she lose the ability to enjoy her prime.....her family also lost a dear lively member.....life is really so unpredictable....a talented gorgeous young lady lost everything to some unknown virus over nite.....their unconditional luv and care for her touched me deeply....i realise how lucky i was to b in gd health.....all the pain i went thru n am goin thru is really nothing compared to what they are goin thru.....i appreciate all that i hv even more than b4......i sincerely hope she will get better......
~~count my blessings~~
