Tis Season To Be Jolly! Love your parents and friends ;-)
Ding dong ding dong! This morning I woke up feeling the sunshine and it was a great morning. People may be waking up late after late nite parties or even early to go to church celebrating Christmas.
I didn't do much last night and I had a relaxing Christmas eve. I picked up the morning paper and start browsing for any interesting stories or news.
There was one section on the newspaper where they interviewed the old folks home. There were few interviews and mostly covered the stories of the neglected souls at old folks home. One of the interview, indeed took me by surprise, probably on her wishes she has made.
She is 86 year old, and she mentioned, Christmas is the day she remembered her good old days with her husband and family. Her husband passed away for 13 years now, and she detailed out what she usually do during Christmas, preparing dinner for their guests. She has kids but were all migrated to Canada and built their family overseas. It was obviously too expensive for their kids to visit her and vice versa.
Her wish for the Christmas is she wish the Lord will not keep her too long in this world. I suddenly feel sadness and loneliness for this poor soul. It was indeed a heart wrenching statement.
I wish to all my patience, for this holiday season, do spend time with your loved ones and families. Even a simple call will do good for anyone! Spirit of Love is what keeping us alive in this insane world. I wish the lady in the newspaper will continue to find spirit of love and never give up hope to live happily.
