Self-less love...

I was watching this programme on Channel 8 last night, with tears swelling up and streaming down uncontrollably.

Yesterday, the episode talked about a family, with a disabled daughter and how they have never given up on making her well again. An incident totally changed the life of this young girl (is her name Wanying?), whom I believe she is about my age. She has an elder sis, who has always been close to her and always been hoping that her sister will recover again. Even though the elder sis has gotten married, you can still see in her eyes, that kind of connection/worry/concern she has with/for her family.

It really pains my heart when during the interview, Wanying was seen choking on her food because she do not know how to swallow. Then another scene was, when Wanying’s father saw something amiss and swiftly carried his daughter onto the sofa when she suddenly had a fit. Everyone stood firmly on the ground helplessly not knowing how to react or help. I guess the sight has shocked the helpers and even the hosts of the show. Then after that, the father took a nap not very far away from Wanying (who was lying on the sofa looking around) and he softly placed his hand on her forehead so that if the slightest help she ever needs, he would be able to react immediately.

Some charitable ones donated a wheel chair and wearable support while the helpers cleaned up the whole house for them, fitting some new furniture, kitchen cabinets; vacuum the dirty mattress where bugs were running around on it. Then there was this 60 year old auntie who helped to clean and scrub the kitchen all by herself and her conversation with one of the hosts makes me feel so heartwarming.

The whole show was full of emotional challenge and you just can’t help tearing (even my dad was wiping off his tear silently behind my back)

Have you ever loved anyone self-lessly?
