Once we realize that a tough time is only temporary, this realization makes it easier for us to go through most difficult phases of life. Helping my mother go through her toughest phase of paralysis has made me learn what hope means. She is sleeping in her room after taking breakfast and medicine. All she is striving for is her better tomorrow. She goes through pains and all the tough exercises only because she believes this is going to be over soon. She is hopeful and has a belief that Allah will grant her health. She wants to lead her life as independently as she always did.
I can see a hope in her eyes when she re-gains any of her lost abilities. she now sits without a support for 7-10 minutes and this sense of achievement makes her believe that she can do more. She now stands up on her feet with the help of two people but once she stepped her feet on the floor she looked at me and smiled as if saying "see i did it"...
When I see her fighting with her sickness and weakness I cannot believe my eyes a woman in her age of seventy who has had diabetes, hypertension, seasonal asthma, nervous tension and minor angina and already a left hip replaced ten years ago...is striving to live a healthy life again. All that makes her strive is her hope
Yes a ray of light at the end of the tunnel helps us walk through the darkness...!
