妈妈虽然出身贫苦，没受过什么教育，但她有个奋斗的个性，不轻言放弃。。。
非常感谢主，她也有幽默感，通常我叫她做什么，她都超配合的。。。
Though mum came from a tough and poor background, not educated, she has a fighter character and does not give up easily…
Really thank God, she has a sense of humour too, normally whatever I ask her to do, she will be very sporting to cooperate…
很可惜，几个月前摔倒跌断了脚，造成她行动不便。。。
Such a shame that few months back, she suffered a fall and broke her bone that hinders her mobility…
虽然这几个星期，在不能避免的情况下，需要暂时入住疗养院，她也不介意。。。
因在疗养院有很多其他老人好聊天、一起游戏、运动等等，而且她也常向他们传福音，我反而发现她气色和心情好了许多！
Though due to some unavoidable circumstances, she has to temporarily stay at a nursing home for these few weeks, she does not mind at all…
Because there are many old folks to talk to over there, to play games and exercise together etc, and she also constantly shares the Gospel with them, I discover her countenance and mood have greatly improved…
每次去看她一定会跟我讲很多其他老人家的故事，和一些在那边发生有趣的事情， 跟闷在家而抱怨的妈妈截然不同。。。
Each time I go and visit her, she will tell me many stories about the other old folks and some funny incidents that happened there, so different from the bored and complaining mother at home….
而且她也对教会节目充满热忱，将来临的圣经考试她也要参与，还很认真的温习准备。虽然明知道老人家的考卷超级简单和容易，她听她组长亚黄说，考平常较难的考卷比较好，她就告诉我说她也要考较难的考卷，只因为她想认识及学写更多字！真服了她！我想我们是有她的遗传，哈哈！
And she is full of zeal for our church programmes too. She will take the upcoming Bible test and is very serious about studying for it. Though she knows the special test paper for the elderly are super simple and easy, she said her group leader Ah Bong said it is better to sit for the harder ordinary paper, so she told me she wants to sit for the harder test as well, for the simple reason that she wants to learn to know and write more words! i have to salute her for that! Guess we really have her genes, haha!
在她还没入住疗养院前，有时候在家我感觉她记忆力怎么那么不好，头脑好像不太清醒；现在跟其他老人家比较，才发现原来她是那么清醒、敏锐和活泼！真的是看到信主老人家的不一样，就连其他来看他们父母亲的孩子都称赞我妈头脑很好、很棒！真感谢主让我看到妈的好见证！
Before she entered the nursing home, while at home, sometimes I would wonder why her memory was not that good and she did not seem alert. Now, compare with the other old folks, I realize she is actually very awake, alert and active! Really shows the difference of an old person who believes in Jesus, even the other children who come to visit their parents praise my mum for being very alert and great! Truly thank God for letting me see my mum’s good testimony!
再过几天，妈就回家了，求主让妈快快康复，让她能够再行动自如，阿们！
In a few more days, mum will be coming home. May God grant her speedy recovery that she can move around as she wishes again, Amen!
