"Where Are You?"

Last month, there was a lot of changes in Zoe's life. My father, Zoe's care-taker was hospitalised due to liver cancer. My father was unconscious for a week and doctor has adviced us to prepare ourselves. But, thank God, who has shown me miracle can happened in every day life by answering our prayer and brought back Dad for us. My father is still weak but at least he's home with us now.

It has been difficult for the whole family and we never thought that it was harder to the little girl. Zoe seems to understand that Gong Gong is very ill and has to be in the hospital but she was unable to express her worried, anxiety and lack sense of security. We have tried to kept her close to us and we even brought her to the hospital to see Gong Gong. At first, Zoe was really uncomfortable to see Gong Gong with all tubes and cried each time she see Gong Gong. We thought that the little girl understand after we have explained to her on Gong Gong condition but I don't think she does and therefore Zoe is always in tears. Frequently, Zoe will ask her care-taker "Where's Gong Gong, Where's Mummy.....and so forth.

My friends did advised me to spend more time with Zoe - bringing her out for some outing and find activities that can do together. However, until now, Zoe is not quite settle and will not let me out of her sight everytime I worked from home.

I hope that Zoe could gain back her sense of security and won't affect her growing up.
