Fate has always been kind to me and Yeung Kong. We believe we had been well looked after by god but I didn't really know which god that was. Yeung Kong and I used to pray to the idol every time we walked pass a temple.
A lot of Christian have prayed for us as they knew he fell ill, and invited us to pray together. But Yeung Kong and I did that out of politeness only.
We tried our best to stay cool despite of our hard fate. With the caring of our families, we managed to keep going.
But as the little pain in my tummy visited me more frequently, while Yeung Kong was failing more quickly, I began to panic. I knew life pressure can lead to sickness and even cancer, if I fell ill, who will be there looking after him?
One morning, that little pain haunted me again and woke me up. I was thinking of calling a friend, who was a student doctor of gynecology. But I didn't call her.
In the late afternoon, I received her call! I told her I was thinking about her, and asked her why she phoned me. She said it was thanksgiving day, she wished to thank those who had helped her. But in fact she was not Christian.
Actually, I had stayed in the hospital for months, what help did I give her, I really couldn't remember.
After she heard I feel ill, she enthusiastically volunteered to take me to the doctor the following day.
At that time, I finally got the answer of who has been watching me all the time. On the night of Thanksgiving, I tried to pray before going to bed. I widely opened my heart and invited God into it. Never before had I been so peaceful before!
My hubby weakened drastically in the following weeks, and we prayed harder and harder still. He slowly got use to thank god every time he felt ill. As he prayed more frequently, I noticed he was more at ease.
In fact ever since he was admitted into the hospital, I kept assuring him that no matter what happened, that was nothing to be afraid of, because we would face it together and I would not leave him alone. Thank God's kind arrangement to let us keep hand in hand in his final moment, and even allow me to witness him leaving with a big smile.
