I don't remember the exact date I stopped, or the reason why. I suspect that there might not be a reason at all; I simply forgot. Blogging has been on my mind of late, and skimming through my previous posts left me in awe. I poured my heart out. It's all there, for me to recall my emotions and inner most thoughts. It gives me a sense of purpose, deceives me into thinking that perhaps my life is happening for a specific meaning.
Grandfather had his stroke in July. 24th July. It was scary and frightening and it took my breathe away. I've been back to Singapore three times since then and watching his improvement, especially this third time, has been so humbling. I've watched the process, him going from unconscious and somewhat conscious, to now where he can sit up mostly on his own and communicate through simple means. I'm astonished. The first time I saw him sit up, I was brought to tears. I was so moved. I thank God for His healing hand, His work in my grandfather.
It also makes me think though, why? Why did God create stroke? Why does a patient take so long to recover after having a stroke? Is it because God has something planned for the family members attending to the patient? Could it be related to the fact that my aunts and their families are not yet believers? Or perhaps that there is no true "peace" in this family?
My mom has grown wonders during this period and proved to be such a strong woman. I am so proud of her, so proud to call my mama. She demonstrates her beauty and love for Christ in her everyday life, by serving her family with her time and energy. I want to strive to be more like her. The verse below describes her exactly.
Proverbs 31:29
Many woman do noble things, but you surpass them all.
