義工記錄 (2)
為甚麼為甚麼當義工?其實一直以來也有當義工的心願,只是工作忙,又要照顧年老及長期病患的父母,也要顧及家中大小事情,提不起勁去開始,直到去年年初確診患上了一個不算輕的病,在醫治期間被迫減少了工作量,再加上常常進出醫院及診所,認識其他病人及病人家屬多了,當中也有些現在已成為我的朋友的,但即使只有幾面之緣的,不知如何再聯絡的,心中也有一份掛念,這是很難解釋的。
第一次看到貼在醫院走廊的招募義工海報,已想報名,但那時身體未完全康復,只有把那電話號碼先記下來。後來身體情況好轉了很多,終於決定報名,卻又遇上家中浴缸漏水、廳中天花要修補,更嚴重的是發現房中一個白蟻巢,杜蟻之餘,還要換房的地板,除了自己忙得一頭煙,還錯過了第一次義工聚會,本來先認讖一下其他義エ,做起事來應該會順暢些。幸好我的EQ不算低,有些事情即使一波三折,最後也一一解決。
此外,我還有一個信念:「為什麼」是個一般病人也會問的問題,「為什麼我不吸煙也會有肺癌?」「為什麼我飲食健康也會有乳癌?」「為什麼我康復了超過十年了還會復發?」我得病初期也會問:「我是不是很快便會離開這個世界?」但命運卻頗眷顧我,一個化驗結果決定了我不用打標靶針,另一個基因測試的結果決定了我不用做化療,感恩之餘,也會問:「為什麼我不必受那些苦,復發率也不高;但另一些病人卻要受這些苦,而且情況不樂觀?」覺得上天給了我一條相對容易行的路,必是有些事情要我做,而當義工可能是其中之一。

Give Your Best

It's a square dance Mr Marshall. It's a square dance on the floor.
It's a square dance Mr Perkins. It's a square dance to be sure, to be sure.
Ev'rybody, grab partners ...
I'm just a clown that used to run around .
I used to have a million friends.
I used to start where ev'rybody ends.
But I just give my best to my friends .
I've done my shows. Ev'rybody knows .
I nearly sold all my clothes.
One man can give; another has to lend.
So I just give my best to my friends.
(spoken)and so you should .
And when you think that your life isn't right.
You know the day isn't always like night.
You've had your peace now it's time for you to fight.
Just give your best to your friends.
