Its Mid-autumn festival tomorrow! Last Sunday i finally got the chance to pop by Cherry Nursing Home to pass them 2 boxes of vegetarian halal lotus seed mooncakes for the elderly and nurses!
Its been months since i last went back to visit them this year, and was full of mixed feelings to see the familiar faces of the uncles and aunties...many of whom, because of suffering from amnesia, would not have remembered my face.
One of them was a 100+ years old grandma who was couching on her seat... she smiled cheerfully when i touched her hand and she tried to focus her eyes on me, due to her failing eyesight, whilst talking to me in her dialect. But after our little chat and having bid her goodbye, i was saddened to see that she slowly held her heads in her hands back in sadness...
It was nice though to see some family members who would at least take time to come and visit their parent/grandparent, at least for these elderly, their sunday had been brightened up.
Tomorrow the Home is having a little celebration for mid-autumn, planned by kind head nurse Ms Tan. And sincere thanks to all supporters of Hammyswork, the humble mooncakes that i got for them are actually made possible by you : )
