MINDS Family Day

Today was YEP ten year anniversary celebration. To commemorate this day, they had a Service Learning marathon which i participated.

I went to Fernvale Minds to help out in their Family Day.. Reach there at 10am to help set up the place. Went for lunch only at 1215pm.. Instead of catering lunch for us, they gave us $3 to let us decide what we want to eat.. Haha... This decision was so much the better...

Returned at 1pm to continue to see what we can do... The participants arrived at around 130pm... Though they were much what i expected, i was overwhelmed too..

Some of them were highly functional, which i think can jolly well take care of themselves in daily activities.. But what about those major decisions in life ? Are they able to make decisions ?

Come to think about it... What about those who are worse ? I see some who are already greying at the sideburns, but still holding on tightly to their ageing mother's hand. As much as the mother might be walking with a slight tremble, the mothers still worry about their son/daughter's next school day programme and stuff.. 天下父母心...

天下的父母一辈子为儿女操劳。他们何时才能放下这个重重的负担，享受天伦之乐，想清福呢？一生的儿女债，何年何月何日才能还清呢？
