“Broken Dreams, Fulfilled Promises” [Carolyn Ros]

As Johan slowly regained his memory, Carolyn felt blithe. She continuously prayed and thanks God for the healing of Johan after such a long and difficult period.
A few years passed, and their four children grew up healthily. Jozua, who was affected by a sickness when he was young, was the most filial. He took care of Johan, his father, ever since he was hospitalised. Although his father had brain tumour and lost his memory years ago, he is fine now, because of the constant care by his family.
One Saturday afternoon, Jozua had a relapse. His sickness reacted again.
“How could his sickness react again? The doctors said he had fully recovered, but… WHY?” Carolyn said frantically. Immediately, they sent him to the nearest hospital.
As Carolyn is a Christian, she prayed non-stop,” Dear Lord, I pray for my son’s safety. He is a very wonderful son, please don’t take him away from us. Please don’t make all of us worry again.”
The next morning, the family found Jozua lifeless in his bed. They were shocked and aggrieved. Carolyn especially was heartbroken. Jozua’s siblings were moaning the lost of their beloved brother. Johan was filled with grief as Jozua was the most filial son who took care of him.
The whole neighbourhood attended the funeral. Everybody had only good things to say about the boy. Life continued for them. Carolyn slowly was settling back to her normal self.
One night, Johan was thinking about his son. Tears flowed down his cheeks. His heart was heavy with sorrow. Out of a sudden, he heard a faint voice. It became louder to his ears. It was Jozua’s voice. “Don’t grieve, daddy. I’m at a wonderful place. There are beautiful flowers and greenery around me. I’m with loving people who are taking good care of me, just like you. I’m here coaching little children who are here before their time. They adore me like a big brother. I enjoy their company and always try to make them happy. This is my mission. Please do not feel sorry for me. I am at peace with myself. One day, we will meet again. Rest assured that I am always keeping all of you in my heart and mind. Good bye daddy.”
