a day with dad
spent almost an entire day with my dad yesterday. in the late morning, dad and i went to visit yeh yeh at the home. we brought him out for lunch and to just walk around the shopping mall. it was great spending time with my dad and my grandfather. although my grandfather is sometimes unpleasant with his words, well, i guess seeing him healthy and alive is already good enough for me. and i like to see the moments when he smiles. he's a Christian, but he told me on the bus, "i don't believe in God"... for a moment i felt quite sad that he said that. it made me wonder whether he'll go to heaven when he dies.... but before we left the home, i prayed for him. then he prayed for dad and i and himself. in his prayer, he recognised God as the Lord.... so.... that kinda comforted me a little that God still had a place in his heart. God, i pray that You'll keep him close to You. in the evening, went with dad to IMM to get stuff and to eat fries... and late in the evening, i looked up the sky and there were so many stars! so i took a walk at the park near my house. so happened dad finished his jog, so we watched stars together. it's very nice to just spend a day with dad.
today i finally went to hospital to visit aunty E. mom offered to go with me coz i don't really know aunty E and i don't know what to say if i were to go! thanks mom for going with me!
i was looking at my mom... and looking at my dad.... they've aged.... i've started to learn how to treasure them before it's too late. they're already in their late 40s... not many more years to go if i come to think of it... i love them and i don't know what i'd do without them. Lord, please keep them healthy and fit and free from accidents.
help me to trust.
