妈妈好像越来越瘦了。。。 Mum seems to be getting thinner…

这是大年初一跟妈妈在教会拍的照片,妈妈真的看起来好瘦,叫人有点担心。。。
This is a photo taken with mum on the first day of Chinese new year in church, mum looks really thin, rather worrying…

想当年我大学毕业时,她身材还略胖。。。
Considering when I graduated from the university, she was still slightlly plump…

记得2003年爸爸去世过后,妈有一阵子吃不下饭,体重下的离谱,健康亮红灯。。。
I remember in the year 2003 when dad passed away, at one stage mum could not eat anything, her weight started to plummet, and her health was alarming…

后来轻微中风,记忆力消退。。。要不然她真的很棒,没读过书却能记得大卫王的家谱,他祖母、曾祖母是谁都晓得!。。。可怜她现在记性比较差了一点。。。
Then she suffered a mild stroke and her memory deteriorated… otherwise she would be really great, without any education she could remember King David’s genealogy, she knew who King David’s grandma and great grandmother were!… pity her memory is not as good now…

但感谢主,后来她食欲恢复了,有时吃的还比我多,虽然身体看起来还是那么瘦。。。看到她能吃我就开心,尽管有些东西吃了她肠胃不太能吸收,只要她喜欢我就让她吃,因我认为年纪都那么大了,能开心的吃自己喜欢吃的东西,何尝不是一种快乐?
But praise the Lord, her appetite returned, and sometimes she eats even more than me now though she still looks thin… Seeing her ability to eat makes me happy even when sometimes her stomach cannot quite absorb certain food. As long as she likes it, I will still let her eat because I think  to be able to enjoy eating the food you like when you are old is also a kind of happiness, don’t you think so?

愿神保守我亲爱的妈妈,身体健壮,平平安安,天天喜乐,阿们!
May God protect my dear mum to be strong and healthy, and to have peace and joy in her heart always, Amen!

    Yes, being able to enjoy eating the kind of food you like is also a kind of happiness. I always feel sad when I am told I am not suppose to eat this or eat that and I feel so happy even if I was allowed a mouth of the restricted food….^_^
    Auntie is an adorable and sweet little lady, we all love her. May God protect her to have happiness, peace and stay young in her heart and be strong and healthy always. Amen!

    Pastor, Don’t worry. As long as aunty is healthy, it is ok for her to lose some weight. Dato Dr Au Yong told my dad the other day it is ok for old ppl to lose weight if their health is on tip top shape but it is definitely not a good thing for old ppl to be fat. They would be at more risk than the youngsters who are overweight. Jesus will bless Auntie with a long, healthy life to see drink her youngest daughter-in-law’s “sim pu teh”. Amen!

    How old is your Mum? You and your Mum look very happy together. When you are older eating your favorite foods that taste good is a wonderful thing. I think you are doing a great job!

    子女与父母的相处,短短几十年,大家相聚的时候不觉得,可是到了要分别的时候才知道痛了。自己觉得很内疚,因为长到这么大,让爸爸最操心的那个人还是我。承认自己不懂事,任性,还对他发脾气,可是他总能原谅我,安慰我,轻轻地告诉我,知道错了就好。
    爸爸的爱与妈妈的爱不一样,从小就爱护着妈妈,知道爸爸也爱我,却从来忽略不计。而现在越来越发现,爸爸的爱是深沉的,他可以看透许多事情,想的要比妈妈远得多。不是说妈妈不爱我,妈妈也爱我,可是更多的是关心我的生活起居,只要我吃饱了,穿暖了就好。希望爸爸妈妈能永远陪在我身边,一直不分离。
    还记得很小的时候,爸爸爬上阁楼拿东西,小凳子上没站稳摔了下来,我咯咯地笑,因为觉得好玩,原来爸爸也会不小心摔跤;还记得一年过生日,就我和爸爸,点好蜡烛后,他一边擦着桌子,一边为我唱生日歌;还记得一次我不乖,爸爸要打我,看我哭得泪流满面,他的手举到一半就没有落下来,这辈子他从来没有打过我;还记得高考复习我逃政治课,因为觉得那些死记硬背的东西老师反反复复的讲是浪费时间,碰到爸爸正好回家,老实告诉他没去上课的原因,他听了居然也没有骂我,让我第一次觉得爸爸也能这么开明;还记得我精神迷糊的时候,爸爸抱着我哭,对妈妈讲,恐怕带不了我回家了;还记得今年回家看家人朋友,和爸爸一起在院子里散步,爸爸指着一种植物告诉我那植物的名字叫剑麻。现在每天早上,女儿爬到大床上来,挤在她爸爸妈妈的中间,我就会想起我小时候也喜欢这样,那是多么温馨啊。
    好好珍惜和家人相聚的时刻,因为错过了就再也找不回来了。世上没有后悔的药。

  • 用上帝大大赐福也保守你们的家人,用神的保血洁净你们每一个人,奉主耶稣的名,我将祷告,AMEN !!!

    I thought she looked thin too when I first saw the photo, but I guess it should be alright as long as she’s eating well and her general health is good. A high-protein diet will help to increase her muscle bulk.

  • perfectHB

    Her smile is like a sunshine to me whenever I’m not in good mood, peaceful when I feel down.Fliping back the old blog sometimes and if happen to see her photo,I will just stop there for few minutes. I don know why but I just love to see her smile very much.

    牧师,你是一个孝顺的孩子!Wah ,你妈妈真的好漂亮Yea!你的妈妈的确是越来越瘦了!但是你不必担心,只要你和我们每天都为你的妈妈祷告,我相信耶稣一定会帮助你的妈妈的。我祝你的妈妈身体健康,永远漂亮和年轻。牧师,我觉得你很幸福,因为你还可以买好吃的食物给妈妈吃,我确不能够了,因为我从小就没有了妈妈。我希望还有妈妈的孩子要好好珍惜妈妈在我们身边的时候。

  • http://deleted 佩璇

    牧师,我看到你说你妈妈想吃什么,你就买什么给妈妈吃,牧师,你真是一个很孝顺的孩子!牧师,你不用担心啦!我们会为你的妈妈祷告的哦!主耶稣,求你让牧师的妈妈的身体能够很健康,也会很强壮,不要让我的牧师很担心!奉耶稣的名祷告,阿们!牧师,我每天都这样祷告,耶稣一定会好好看着你的妈妈的。我祝你的妈妈能身体健康,天天开心,平平安安,永远幸福!

    牧师,我们只能在星期一或星期六看你的部落格了!因为我们大班的学生(四、五、六年级)从明天开始,学校在每个星期二到五都有补习了,我们每天都补习到三点多才回家,牧师,虽然我们看不到你的部落格,但是我的补习老师每天都会跟我们说你在部落格所写的事哦!牧师,无论怎样,我们还是会一直支持你的哦!牧师,我们都很想念你!

    牧师,你不要但心妈妈祷告就没事了。牧师,你知道吗?我一天没有祷告我就很凡脑。牧师,我昨晚睡到一半我的脚忽然很痛sao以我就祷告,忽然我的脚好了。牧师,我很像信耶稣因为耶稣救了我很多次可是我的家人不喜欢,牧师你知道吗?我已今从17名变到这个月拿10名了.

  • http://deleted 晓薇

    牧师,你不必担心。我们每一天都会为你妈妈祷告喔!我祝你妈妈身体健康,长命百岁!

    牧师,我们那天背的经文都拿到100分,只是欣怡拿到89分而已,因为他有很多字不会写。我们想拼命找老师的错字,扣老师的分,可是都找不到,星期六,老师给了我们更长的经文,我们都呱呱叫,后来,老师解释给我们听那是什么意思后,还把约书亚记第一章八节改成1:8,我们才静下来。老师还骂人呢!他骂心慧和晋慷很懒惰,不看你的部落格,也不肯学经文,在一边讲话一边吵人,老师叫他们星期五一定要背出来,如果背不出来就要罚写50次。老师会很生气他们,是因为他们不会好好珍惜耶稣,所以老师才会很生气。牧师,心慧和晋慷都是你教会的人类了,他们是不是更要像我们一样勤劳的背经文呢?牧师,老师说背耶稣的经文可以让一个人变聪明,他们都不要背,我觉得他们很傻耶!

    牧师,告诉你一个坏消息,我们只能在星期一或是星期六有补习时才能看你的部落格了。因为我们大班的学生都要很迟才能回家,很迟才能去补习。所以,不能看你的部落格。牧师,我去年也有在学校补习,我觉得在学校补习真让人讨厌,每天都很迟才能回家,有些老师只是丢一张纸给我们,什么话也没说,只说半个小时内要做完,然后交上去。有时还骂人是猪脑!呢!我们的头脑都变成猪脑了啊!牧师,我们该怎么办呀!很伤心很多天不能看你的部落格了。我们也很担心会不能看到你的部落格!牧师,我们很想你!

    ** 孩子们,不要太担心,你们一定要相信耶稣很爱你们,耶稣会帮助你们,相信老师的话,记住老师和你们说的:每天祷告告诉耶稣你们所担心的心事,不要难过,不要伤心,记住:耶稣很爱你们,你们虽然看不到耶稣,但是耶稣每天都在你们的身边保守看顾着你们,你们一定会继续的看得到牧师的部落格的。。。阿们!

  • 小羊

    是的,您妈妈好瘦。愿神保守她身体健壮,平安与喜乐!阿们!
    牧师,礼拜天只要是您讲道,您妈妈通常两堂都会来听耶!虽然她已经80岁了,确比年轻人还棒!她是最忠心的支持者。看着您在台上唱歌讲道,她心里不知多欣慰呢!您看,当您搂着她时,她多么开心快乐啊!

    • Alison

      Yes, auntie looks so happy in the last picture….only Pastor looks as though he is crying….so touching

    Ps GT, based on the photos comparison, your mum has indeed lost so much weight but please don’t worry so much, as I read from the the comment that your mum still attended each and every sunday service conducted by you meaning she is still in perfect health even though she is thin. Our God will always be with her.

    I have old age parents too. My mum used to be super strong physically in the past and she can carry much much heavier weight than me. In the recent years, her health has deteriorated so much that to be frank, it’s a kind of torture and heart pain for me to see her in this state. Thank God, now that I return to Him, i have learnt to pray and commit my mum to Him and I am still learning…… As her child, I told myself to do my best and be filial to her, even my dad too…in all possible ways according to God’s guidance before they are called back in God’s timing. In that way, I will not have any regret as I have done my best.

    hmm…really look too much difference. it’s good to do medical check up.. thyroid function can cause severe weight lost. and that can be easily treated with tablet.
