There was a Mass for the Sick of Dublin Diocese and there were around 20 of us volunteered ourselves to be attendants of the old folks from Little Sisters of the Poor Nursing Home.I am so happy that I chose to go instead of resting at home although the day before was really tiring.
As I pushed an old lady on a wheelchair entering the church,all came out in my mind is the moment I pushed my grandpa around the Miriam Home one year ago.And I suddenly miss my ah gong and ah ma so so much!
The church was full for the mass.Looking at the Deaf Choir doing sign language in front of the altar,observing their joyful faces of praising Lord,I couldn't take my eyes away from them.They amazed me!They are an unfortunate group of people,but still they praise and thank God for what they have.Then,how about us who have everything we want and in this position right now?Shouldn't we do more and give more?
After the mass,we went back to Little Sisters of the Poor convent.The journey is indeed "adventurous",as the sister who drove us lost her way in the town.ahaha~ Luckily,one of my friends has GPS in her phone! We were served with sandwiches and muffin in the convent.After tea time,we visited the nursing home and we were really fascinated by the facilities there.It is totally different from the old folks home in Malaysia.All the old folks are well taken care of.We asked whether we could volunteer ourselves in the home when we are free and we are greatly welcomed.This is something I wanted to do and I'm looking forward to it!! :)
