Tuesday evening:my mum took a fall last night and had to go to hospital ,so I had to cancel my outing to church today.
[Wednesday:]I didn't mind tho' as dad is very important to me and someone had to look after him while mum was in hospital .when I got there @ 12 pm he was still visibly shaken .Another part of town- Mum was starving at that time . no food since noon yesterday but we didnt know that .
We had lunch , dad had a sleep & I wrote out xmas cards and felt better for it , then the phone calls came @ 12 -15 pm. 'I'm coming home .' oh yeah !
as my dad said" paperwork is the longest . easy to admit but so hard to leave ".oh yes, he was right again. . at 3 pm mum was still not home ,3-30 pm still not there so he gets up and starts the tea . cups out --- food out------ jug boiled ..
and we sit down slowly. then up he shot . he ran to the front door .
Boy, I have never seen him like that in his life ... mum came in ,then more phone calls from other concerned people but at 4-15 pm ,Mum started to drink her tea. while talking to us about her recollections on the incident yesterday, my brother came and he took me home .oh, for a quiet life but ever so grateful that mum is alright and my dad too .
he is 91 now . !
as the nurses said to my mum .
"what did you say , HOW old ? "mum said it again quietly .
" 91 and he's not doing too badly for it " Dad was quite pale at the time ,but he''s better now...
tuesday night: I was at fellowship and we took a lucky dip on God's gifts and prayed on it .I had chosen "strength". How God knew that I would need it today . but then he does know everything even before we do . bless you all for reading this . ....
