A brave girl 勇敢的女孩

Meeting Jenny was the most important item in our KK itinerary. Fourteen months ago, Jenny was seriously injured in a road accident. She spent two months in KL hospitals. When her condition got better, she flew home on a stretcher with special arrangement by MAS. She was admitted to the Queen Elizabeth Hospital and undergone a few more major operations and hundreds of hours of physiotherapy. I was meeting this brave girl with joy and sadness. I was filled with joy to see Jenny has recovered almost fully and resumed normal life. On the other hand, I was pained knowing that this young girl has gone through so much sufferings and pains. She has to bear the physical and mental pain and agony of many operations.

It was not the time to ask "why", and there would be no answer to it too. The most important thing was to accept and face the reality with courage and hope. This was exactly Jenny, her parents, members of family and friends did. They have set themselves free from denial and despair. They have hope and trust in faith. They lived one day at a time, one step a day. They walked patiently, they bore the pain courageously, and Jenny recovered slowly and surely.

As a parent, I empathized with the pain and agony her parents have gone through. At the initial stage, the parents were tirelessly be at her bedside, care for her day and night for more than two months. They offered love and care. They have many sleepless night and crying days, disappointment and despair, but they never give up on her. Jenny's recovery was the testimony of the unwavering love and care, courage and dedication. With these, I am confident Jenny will achieve a full physical and mental recovery.

Today, Jenny has resumed her study and is currently pursuing her Business Administration Course at the University Tun Abdul Razak (UNITAR), Sabah campus.

To Jenny, me and many others, we said: You are a brave girl. The accident has changed your life and shattered your dream but do not give up. Life continues to change and grow. You have shown your courage and determination, continue to fight on, to achieve your new dreams and new life.

We will always be with you and walk with you. We offer our sincere prayer, love and care to be with you always. We love you.

俐雯手抱侄女

这趟神山行，最重要的是见到了俐雯。约十四个月前，她在一宗交通意外中，严重受伤。她在吉隆坡三间医院住了两个月，做了好几次的重大手术。当情况稍微稳定后，她躺在病床上，由马航特别安排下，飞回到家乡亚庇。在亚庇的伊丽莎白女皇医院里，再动了几次手术，然后经过好几百个小时的康复治疗，今天我看到了那位勇敢的姑娘，心中是阵阵高兴，也是阵阵的心痛。高兴是看到了几乎九十巴仙康复的俐雯，她已经能够行动自如，脚虽还有时会痛，但坐立、起行都没问题。我心痛的是，一个纯洁青春姑娘，却体验及承受了肉体的极度痛苦，还有精神上的折磨。

我想，我们不需要去寻找一个“为什么”的答案，因为我们根本就不会找到这个答案。我们只能勇敢的去面对事实，这样，才能够往前走。就如俐雯的父母、兄弟及亲戚朋友，更重要的就是俐雯本身，他们都不被“为什么”束缚，他们没有被“为什么”打乱阵脚。他们勇敢的面对现实，一天走一步，一步过一天的走到了今天，终于看到了俐雯的康复。他们仍然需要继续坚强、勇敢的往前走，要看到俐雯心灵及身体的完全康复。

我身为人父母，能够感受到俐雯父母的痛。我可以肯定，许许多多的晚上、许许多多的白天，他们是多么的无助，多么的彷徨。他们流泪，他们悲伤。但他们没有绝望。

我看到他们坚强的，在西马医院的时候，整整两个月，日夜的看守、呵护着这心爱的孩子。他们只能够做他们能够做到的事情，就是用爱，用温暖陪伴着她。其他的亲戚和朋友，包括各地的圣母军军友，也没放弃，也是尽量的以祈祷，关爱，拜访，给俐雯及父母支持、打气。

俐雯就在爱中，加上自己的勇气和耐力，一天、一步的，慢慢的康复过来。今天，她已经回到校园，就读亚庇敦拉萨大学 ( UNITAR）分校工商管理课程。

我及其他所有关心俐雯的朋友们，寄语俐雯：你是个勇敢的女孩。虽然这场意外把你的生活完全改变，也把你的梦想打碎，但不要失望，更不要绝望。生命是不断的改变，不断的成长。你年纪轻轻，已经活出了你的勇敢，你的坚强。你要继续用你的勇敢，你的坚强，去创造你的新理想。

我们都愿意陪伴你，就如你的家人一样，继续往前走。我们以内心的祝福，虔诚的祈祷，深切的关怀，永远陪伴着你。我们都爱你！
