Happiness

Today morning I went to the ward to give the questionnaire. The patient is an old lady, I was thinking it will take me & her a long time to finish my work. Yup, it became true.
Before I entered the room, i saw a sad & quiet lady sitting there. I told her what I am doing and what I want her to do. She was not so patient and looked tired. I started asking her questions, sometimes she couldn't understand so much, she just talked about whatever she liked. It's so challenging to me. When I asked whether she felt happy or not, she started her story. Haiz... I became a good listener.
It's a normal story as most of the elderly have, has nobody to talk and has nobody to walk in the park... Feeling lonely.
I comforted her, you will get better, keep happy, keep relaxed...
In the end she smiled, she was very happy to tell how she felt, she said 'thank you' to me.
Hohohohoho... I had never found out I have such ability.

I realise that we should take care of our parents when they are getting older and older.
