mum
20 were baptised on Sunday. Wonderful weather, picnic and baptism. Mark Cheong baptised others for the first time: a sign that we are empowering others to do the work of ministry.
Visited mum. She talked about the workers painting the block; that it is crowded outside; that she goes to church and back and otherwise feels lost.
She said: Your hair is curly. I replied, I’m your son. Hair same as yours. She asked, Where do you live? Jurong East, ten minutes away. Never been there.(She’s been there many times.) How many children do you have? Three.
It is becoming too painful to see my mum this way, just a shell of the person she was. Dementia . Felt tears in my eyes. I left shortly. Couldn’t bear to stay longer.
