錫安與我 / Zion and Me

Kelvin is traveling for business again. Taking care of Zion alone isn't an easy task, so I decided to bring Zion to visit my parents. It's a 3 hours drive but fortunately, we got Aunty Joanne as our company. She helped me to watch over Zion as I wasn't able to do it while driving.


Besides visiting my parents, the most important mission is to bring Zion to see a well-known PD in Taichung. Daddy spent a lot of time to squeeze Zion in the fully-booked appointment through Church brothers' help. Dad and Mom both took 1 day leave in order to accompany me and Zion. When we reached the hospital, a Church brother who is also a doctor, was waiting for us despite his busy schedule in hospital and teaching in medical school. He introduced us to the PD and even stood by us during the whole consultation. My unbeliever friends often ask me where God is and how can I feel Him. The love and care among brothers and sisters in church is the best way to see God. Why should people help me without knowing me? Because there is love from God in their heart. The PD checked Zion very carefully and gave us a thorough opinion. I must say it makes a lot of difference when you have connection. With the Church brother’s presence, the PD even wrote a recommendation letter for us to see a famous neurologist in Taipei.


I am most grateful to God that I am now in Taiwan with my family. Since Zion was diagnosed with brain abnormality, my parents at their 50s, still working, browse internet everyday to look for any possible treatment and information and ask any possible person to find a right doctor for their grandson. My sister learns how to take care of him as if Zion was her son. My aunties and cousins can make a 6 hours drive just to hug Zion in their arms. In those countless hospital visits, I'll always remember my parents or Joanne sat in hospital, holding Zion while I went to make payment or queued for medicine. Such a unforgettable scene to remind me there is love and support no matter what happens. Zion is taken to their heart dearly.


Kelvin and I are so blessed that we are not alone fighting our son's disease. We have family surrounding us who’s never calculating but giving willingly. It seems like God has given me a not-so-perfect son, but He also gives me an almost-perfect family. When He closes a door, He opens a window.
