On the morning of 29 October 2015, I was awakened by some incoherent shouts. I realized it was my dad mumbling something about my mum. When I saw her in the kitchen, she was sitting on the floor with her head and shoulder leaning against the washer. I knelt down to hold her up and check on her condition. There was a big bump at the back of her head. She must have landed hard on the concrete flooring with such a swell. But she was conscious and there was no blood. Immediately, I called the ambulance.
The first 2 days were critical as doctors monitored her
condition in the NUH High Dependency Ward for any signs of bleeding and concussion in the head. We were
relieved that her condition was stable for the rest of the week. But she had to be hospitalized for a
long period due to numerous tests and checks to her heart and diabetic
condition.
Under the care of the doctors and with her cooperation, her condition
improved and was transferred to Jurong Community Hospital for rehabilitation and physiotherapy.
During this trying period, several church and CG brothers
and sisters visited and prayed for her to show their love and concern.
I am eternally
grateful to former pastor Freddy Ong who led her to say the sinner’s prayer
during her recuperation at JCH. It was a very emotional moment for me to hear her
say those words. Till today, I still treasure that precious moment in my heart.
How the heaven must have felt when one sinner repents and is saved. I pray the
same experience for my dad and other loved ones
Luke 15: 7
I tell you that in the same way there will be more rejoicing
in heaven over one sinner who repents than over ninety-nine righteous persons
who do not need to repent.
