“I have got a small present for you, this rainbow loom”
“Aw you are just a student. You don’t need to buy me such thing”
“We did not buy it; we made it, for you”
“It looks beautiful!”
“You are having lunch, aren’t you? Why is it so late?”
“Yes. Because I went to the temple on the opposite side of the rode to do some work…”
“Such as…?”
“Such as sweeping the floor, cleaning, and worshipping”
I was admiring her for doing such good work at this old age because she did not just simply stick in the bed and waiting for meal times day by day, but being a helpful one. Then she continued “But since I came back this late, no one would eat with me because they all had finished.”
“Let me be your meal-mate” I replied and went on chatting with her. She shared that her outer body may have looked healthy but her inner organs were dying. She was putting in from western to eastern medicine provided by this center. But at the same time she knew that she had been on this world for a long time already and she just wished that Buddha would help her to have a peaceful rest.
The atmosphere went down. I couldn't do much but brought her smiles because I believed laughter is the best medicine, and we all know that life goes around so whatever you have given, you will be paid off. I wish her a worthy life.
