可怜的老人家。。。

我在巴刹认识了一位老人家。。。他几乎天天都独自在外吃早餐及午餐。刚才有机会和他聊了一会儿,便问他为何天天都在外用餐,难道他没有孩子吗?

老人苦笑着,告诉我他有四名子女,不过他们都没和他一起住。。。 后来又告诉我他的子女每年只探望他一次,那就是过年过节的时候。。。

我听了一阵心酸,老人的眼睛也泛着泪水。。。

Hi Kat
How have you been? Poor old folk, though, my prayers and thoughts are with him. May the Lord bless him and take care of his needs.
Have been quite busy with work, family and community/evangelistic work. Hope to get a short break if work schedule permits. Need time out of this crazy life style. May you take care of yourself too. Have a great week end!

Hi kat;

This is the real fact of life, now a days sons/daughters have their own home and family. And most of them feels taking old folks was troubles and problems,some even pushing their parents around.
Its very sad that the society have changes this ways.
I think the life style in singapore is too fast and the youngster only thinks of earning money to have a good life...
Did anyone cares for the olds...
