Family...

In Revelation 21: 4
"He will wipe every tear from their eyes. There will be no more death or mourning or crying or pain, for the old order of things has passed away."

Years ago on January 16, my big brother, mum and a great aunt (who I treat as my mum as well) had one of their most important days. They were baptized. My second brother also brought along his Church's priest and friends to witness this sacred occasion. It truly brought tears to my eyes.

My mum is a loving, thoughtful and understanding mum. Now she's retired. She's having a relaxed life in which she enjoys herself by watching Chrisitan TV, cooking endless and extremely wondeful dishes, doing some shopping and walking in the gardens and hills! Since mum believed in God these few years, she's even happier and more delighted. She always prays for us. She's such a faithful mum. I love you, my dear mum! May health and happiness be always with you!
My aunt was also baptized on the same day. She's just turned to her seventies now. She's as dear as my mum and as amiable as a great friend. I treat her as my mum and my best friend at the same time. We'd once lived together for four years. Those were one of my sweetest memories I've ever had. We went hiking together, we had endless sharing till midnight, we took good care of our little pets and plants, we shared so many seasonal festival delightfully...I feel so blessed to have her in my life. Even though she's migrated to another country , I always miss her. I'll always carry those special memories of her with me. Thanks for sharing so many nice times with my mum and me such as going to church, hiking, shopping, walking in the gardens and even traveling.

Thank you, my dear family!
