Went to Geylang East Home for the Aged today and I must say it has definitely been an eye opener for me and my students.
This was part of their community involvement project and they were tasked to spend some time with the old folks and bring some joy to them.
Met one aunty who had dementia and kept saying every 10 minutes that someone is calling her, her son was calling but sadly, it’s only her thinking, no one is calling her, none at all…
We often get bugged down by the work we have and the burdens we carry but we often forget, we are lucky to have good health and not having our family abandoning us…
I really have to learn to appreciate life and while not forgetting the troubles it may bring, I must remember and recognize the joy it brings also…
