i went to visit a church friend yesterday in the hospice...

i must say i am shock to see the state he was in... no doubt he is already over 70 years of age.
i am shock because just a few weeks ago i saw him in church he was still walking and talking to me and the wife.

although earlier i notice he has lost a lot of weight. and the a week after, he was very yellowish...
i thought he must have liver problem or something... and it could be a fast death....

i told the wife...and she suddenly notice..and she went to ask him if he was ok....

although he lost a lot of weight, he told us the doctor could not find anything wrong with him....

we went to visit him yesterday.... a priest told me he is in the hospice!!
now, he is in the hospice... it only means death... he look so frail....

my tears almost flow....i feel the pain.... my wife told me he asked about me when she visited him sometime ago... so i felt i must go pay him a visit...and fast.....

although he was weak and could not say a word... he seem to know that we have come to see him.... i was very sad..... i must admit, he is a little annoying... but maybe because he is an old man.... its just the action.. i could be like that when and IF i reach his age....

i held his hand and called him..... we pray over him and then left.... with a heavy heart. we did not stay long as we wanted him to rest as he must be tired with so many visitors....

as we leave the room.... he wave good bye....

i thought....wow... he mustered all his strength to wave.....
its a matter of time now.....

be strong uncle james..... you are going home to the lord.....

another useless... sad thought
