The boy is only turning 4 this year but has been ill for most of the days that he’s known of. He’s really shy, the sort that’s quiet and would not talk a lot. Nevertheless, he would always put on a little bashful smile to all that plays with him.
He’s very very sweet and most unique of all, he display appreciative-ness to the ones who care of him. Why??…. After we did finish the teddy, his father had ask him not once but many times “What’s the name of your little bear???” and his answer never fails to be “QJ-jiejie”….
When I had heard those words I felt really sad. Strange isn’t it? I should have been more touched than sad but it’s true that I feel sad for him then. It’s like ‘how could an angel this sweet be terminally ill at such young age and not know when he could live till???’….
So, I guess life is such that there are things out there which we can’t decide for but still, we should always be appreciative of what we have that is there for us.
Eann has come to made me feel so very appreciated for that little bit I’ve done for him as well as to made me realize that it is easy to be appreciative of those around me.
That one afternoon of spending time with Eann and the other children is definitely one that enriches me in a way I have never felt before. And so, who ever says you only give and not take in charity??....
