Easter 2008 passing me by

I was out of touch of the whole activities of the Holy Week leading to the great celebration of Easter. I stayed in the hospital sitting at the bedside of my aunt, Eming. I wanted to give my time to her during my vacation. I considered it a privilege moment because I never had opportunity to served any of my old folks since I entenered the convent.

It was also an opportunity to meet other relatives who cared for my aunt. They came to visit and talked for a while because there is nothing much we can do in her situation.

It was at this time that I learned of all the good things that Tiya Eming did to them. I never knew that. She helped a lot of our relatives in their times of need.

It dawned on me that on our way to death our good works will accompany us. Their might be mistakes or blunders done but they are not the ones highlighted but the good things experienced by people. In her moment of helplessness her strengths were well remembered.

Though I miss most of the services, but Easter in the hospital has taken a different form, a real experienced of resurrection. What resurrected at that time were the good experiences in life as it faded away slowly...
