mata

Tok is getting better, she can slowly walk even with difficulty...but her eyesight is getting worse...ummi remembers how she sacrified many nites when umi was young,weaving mengkuang mat to be sold....she was very hardworking earning extra income beside helping tok wan in the paddy fields...imagine her burning the midnite oil, making the mats...each would measure about 8" x 12"...it was not an easy task coz she was very particular about the exact size, the fine weave and the perfect product of the mat.

ummi would accompany her at nite, sleeping beside her and reading storybooks...sometimes, when the electric was off, she would use the kerosene lamp to brighten the nite ...she must complete her work no matter what because the next day, she would have to attend to the paddy fields.

ummi thinks that is one of the reasons why she has a poor eyesight....glacoma and cataract took the better of her eyes...she underwent an operation about 9 years ago and the doctor advised her to have her left eye operated as well but she refused...scared that she might not be able to see at all.

now, she is surrounded by children n grandchildren but she vaguely sees them...however, her spirit is still high...even though she has to grope for things around her, she still does not rely on others...she even cuts her own fingernails which i find amazing....only sometimes, she asks me to help her.

tok may lost her eyesight but her inner sight is still clear....her ears are also clear....dont try to say things ...she will hear it loud n clear...God is The Greatest.....
