20th may 2007Day thirty six.
i managed to get better today. though my throat still feels dry and im flu-ing a lot now but i guess its all clearing up. i thank the heavens i didnt come down with a fever. if i did, i dont know what i'll do. without mum beside me to sponge me, without her to cook me porridge and bring my medicine to me when i was too weak to walk. i dont know at all. thanks everyone for your well wishes to get well. i did and im glad because i have two major tests up next week that i have to prepare for.
it was pretty weird. acension day was supposedly on a weekday but they celabrated it on a weekend on a sunday. well church was the same today, just that for the homily, they screened a video on the conservation and construction efforts for the st mary's cathedral in western australian. they asked for donations but i didnt give any. opps;D
after mass, i went to visit mother mary in that quiet little spot of her own at the side of the church.
mum, i finally understood why you cried so easily when you looked up at her demure face. that figure of statue wasnt just a statue because to you, you saw her all. her quiet timid, selfless love for all and her great compassion for the world. i had the same reaction when i saw her, just in that small little spot with flowers at her side adoring her. there she stood, so demure and lovely, you just couldnt stop tearing at the greatness of her love. i placed my bag down and knelt down to pray. i just couldnt help it, i havent even got to my second sentence, and i felt as though she knew everything that i was experiencing in my life now. tears just rolled down uncontrollably then. though it was just a short five mintues with her in her presence, it felt like an eternity in her warmth.
the wonders of prayers. even to someone so far away, it does mean a lot to me. and thanks for all your prayers. i received them in my 'mail'.
