16/6

today no sch..so went to bethany..join their service..

i was wondering how come i din see tan ah kiat in the service.. when i asked the nurse in thw ward.. she said that he passed away 2 days ago on tues..i was so shocked!!he was admitted to hosp last sat becoz of a high fever..hai..

i went with the nurses to his wake.. heard from his son that he tried to end his life on sat in the hosp by pulling off his oxygen mask cos he cant breathe properly and he was feeling terrible..but his son saw and stopped him..later on, he tried to pull of the oxygen mask again..this time his son got no choice but to ask the nurse to tie his hands up.. then on sunday he cld talk..but on mon he cld not open one of his eyes..then on tues morn, he passed away becos of pneumonia.. sigh.. i missed him..

before we left bethany on the last day of our mission trip, we made paper cranes(small, medium and large size), total 3 sizes and chain them up using a thread and we paste the fotos that we took with the old folks on a piece of card and tie the card to the thread..i took foto with tan ah kiat and i pasted the foto on the card.. i wrote something and i hang it beside his bed.. he was so happy and excited when he saw that..he would ask me to adjust the fan for him..he cld not talk and i would guess his sign language..everytime i cld get wat he said, he will give me a "thumb up" sign.. and he always smile.. as i looked at his foto at the wake and think abt him, my tears just flow down..thank God he received Christ already..i think gracia will be very sad.. cos she went bethany for mission trip last yr and she led him to Christ..

on the way back to the home, i heard the staff nurse said that tan ah kiat love his wife very much..he refused to allow his wife to stay in the nursing home.. his wife is also wheelchair bound.. need ppl to take care of her..there is a maid at home but the maid cant take care of 2 ppl..so he willingly sacrifice himself.. he let his wife stay at home to be taken care of by the maid and he himself will stay in the nursing home.. i was so touched when i heard that..really..i missed him..he was such a nice patient.......

this somehow serves as a wake up call and reminder for me..today, another patient was admitted to the hosp becos of pneumonia..low boon khee..noel said he had received Christ..but not very sure cos he cant speak..oh God..let Your grace and mercy be upon him..i dun want to leave behind another regret.......and i cant afford to......cos souls are just so precious......oh God...........pls................

i think i got to control my emotions abit.......having sparkler prac later........but all these just happened to me in just 1 day.......and............i dunno....eileen be strong..and i think turning to Him now is the best choice..

"Do not let your hearts be troubled. Trust in God; trust also in me. In my Father's house are many rooms; if it were not so, I would have told you. I am going there to prepare a place for you. And if I go and prepare a place for you, I will come back and take you to be with me that you also may be where I am. You know the way to the place where I am going."

John 14:1-4
