senior friend

Last week, one of my senior friends died.

She was from the same city as mine.

Months ago after her colostomy, she had to carry a colostomy bag with her and then she had moved away to live with her son since then we only get to call each other for a couple of times and I always wanted to visit her but never did.

She is a typical Asian woman; bravery, perseverance, wisdom and independence, though she never got the chance to have educations; she never complained or want to bother others for help or anything.

Even right after the colostomy, I went to visit her in hospital, still she thanks God to spare her life and always never ever forget to pray for others.

She had an uneasy and tough childhood and a severe motorbike accident after married.

Thessalonians 帖 撒 羅 尼 迦 前 書 4:13-18
13 But I would not have you to be ignorant, brethren, concerning those who are asleep, that ye sorrow not, even as others who have no hope. 14 For if we believe that Jesus died and rose again, even so will God bring with Him those also who sleep in Jesus. 15 For this we say unto you by the Word of the Lord: that we who are alive and remain unto the coming of the Lord, shall not precede those who are asleep. 16 For the Lord Himself shall descend from Heaven with a shout, with the voice of the archangel and with the trumpet of God; and the dead in Christ shall rise first; 17 then we who are alive and remain shall be caught up together with them in the clouds to meet the Lord in the air. And so shall we ever be with the Lord. 18 Therefore comfort one another with these words.
13 論 到 睡 了 的 人 ， 我 們 不 願 意 弟 兄 們 不 知 道 ， 恐 怕 你 們 憂 傷 ， 像 那 些 沒 有 指 望 的 人 一 樣 。 14 我 們 若 信 耶 穌 死 而 復 活 了 ， 那 已 經 在 耶 穌 裡 睡 了 的 人 ， 神 也 必 將 他 與 耶 穌 一 同 帶 來 。 15 我 們 現 在 照 主 的 話 告 訴 你 們 一 件 事 ： 我 們 這 活 著 還 存 留 到 主 降 臨 的 人 ， 斷 不 能 在 那 已 經 睡 了 的 人 之 先 。 16 因 為 主 必 親 自 從 天 降 臨 ， 有 呼 叫 的 聲 音 和 天 使 長 的 聲 音 ， 又 有 神 的 號 吹 響 ； 那 在 基 督 裡 死 了 的 人 必 先 復 活 。 17 以 後 我 們 這 活 著 還 存 留 的 人 必 和 他 們 一 同 被 提 到 雲 裡 ， 在 空 中 與 主 相 遇 。 這 樣 ， 我 們 就 要 和 主 永 遠 同 在 。 18 所 以 ， 你 們 當 用 這 些 話 彼 此 勸 慰 。
