Her name is
Rose. She is 91 years old; in a couple of days later will be 92.
She was
just having a stroke attack... But she’s still excited about celebrating her
upcoming 92.
She came to
the hospital alone. She is literally alone, yes ALONE in this present time in
this world.
She used to have parents, 5 brothers, 5
sisters-in-law, 1 sister, and 1 brother-in-law; but they’re all gone. Rose is
solitary in her life, and she’s 91 years old with a stroke.
That a short real story I just watched in TV
program at NatGeo channel called ‘24 hours in A&E’ (Accident and Emergency),
a British medical documentary set in King’s College Hospital.
What’s interesting about that? Well, I don’t
know how, Rose has just made me cry, quite a hard one.
I think Rose is a pure-hearted life-loving
granny. I try to imagine how would it feel to live her life; being old, weak,
and all alone. Nonetheless, she’s still energetically life her remaining life and does
not look sad. Somehow I could feel her, i could feel her sincerity. We, unconsciously,
can sense other’s mood or feeling. You could sense that someone is not lying,
you could sense that there’s something wrong, and you could sense
unpleasant thing in everyone.
I know we’re all
literally alone. Our family, friends, partner... could never be with us
forever. So for your loved ones, while they’re still there with you, LOVE them.
HUG them while you still could. TALK and SHARE with them. Show them your CARE,
make them feel your attention about them, give them as much love as you have
for them. Don’t disappoint them, of often, take them for granted.
.....as most of
love is lost between what is said and not meant, and what is meant and not
said.
