"He's my son"

For the first time today, I stepped into the offices of a meet-the-people session; for the first time, I just stood there with my best friend waiting for the turn to come; for the first time we brought the problem of his family to the officers there, only to be referred elsewhere.

But not for the first time, I felt so helpless. Not for the first time, I wish I could do more - only to know that there is really nothing more but pray and be there. Not for the first time, I teared in my heart seeing what's going on, to witness it, to read it. Not for the first time, I wish I can be the one going through all that he's going through.

I wish I'm the one sleeping on the hard sofa; I wish I'm the one that faces those challenges. But I'm not. Here's a song that speaks my heart right now.. and to only pray and do whatever I can. Beyond myself, it's really all God. Even with that thread of faith..




My dearest friend, you are not alone in all that you face... even with that thread of faith, know that God is with you. I am too. Jia you ba.
