母親節快樂🎉
Happy Mother’s Day 🎉
I listened to a speech recorded on May 1 by Guo Fangchun, Executive Director of the Nanzan Foundation, at a charity event in Tainan.
In her speech, she talked about a friend whose child has a serious illness. The mother wakes up at 3 a.m. every day to massage her child, as advised by doctors.
Because they both need to go to work and school in the morning, this is the only time they have.
In the morning, the child’s grandmother goes to school with her, helps her eat, and takes care of her daily needs. This kind of effort is very hard for others to imagine.
I once visited this girl at Cheng Kung University Hospital when she was a teenager. After seeing her, I told her mother that she might not survive puberty.
Her mother said, “The doctor told me the same thing.”
However, she survived that difficult time. Now, she is studying for a PhD in Aerospace Engineering at Cheng Kung University.
I had heard about the mother waking up at 3 a.m. before, but hearing it again still moved me deeply.
These two mothers are truly amazing.
Miracles come from strong human will.
Happy Mother’s Day to all mothers 👩🎁🎉🎉
