Uit die Groot Karoo: Schalk se lewensnippers

Reik uit ...

Reik uit na inwoners wie se kinders oorsee woon of nie meer familie het nie. Ouers (lees inwoners) met kinders wat oorsee woon, dra soms so swaar aan die verlange dat hulle in depressie verval. Die verlange na hul kinders gaan saam met 'n leemte wat hulle daagliks voel en wat aan hulle gemoed knaag. 'n Hartskind op die regte plek en op die regte tyd, is beslis die regte medisyne.  

Kom neem gerus 'n oupa of ouma aan - kom kuier vir hulle, luister na hulle stories en brei jou plaaslike familiekring uit - iemand wat elke aand vir jou sal bid, wat graag vir jou 'n drukkie sal gee en wat uitsien na jou kuiertjies.

Hartskind, moenie hierdie goue geleentheid deur jou vingers laat glip nie. 

Liewe Kinders

Onthou om, veral in hierdie grendeltyd, so 'n ekstra oproep of twee na Ons Huis te maak en met jou ma of pa te praat. 'n Telefoonkuier is net so 'n lekker kuier. Verbreed die vier mure van die kamer en bring so 'n stukkie van die buitewêreld na die klein kamertjie.

Sosiale kontak is afwesig -  kinders, vriende en kerklimate wat gewoonlik by die inwoners kom kuier het, kan nie meer nie.

Ouers is ook bekommerd oor die gesondheid van hulle kinders en kleinkinders. Kontak hulle en stel hulle gerus.

Geniet 'n foonkuier en sit 'n bietjie kleur in 'n vaal dag. 

Foongroete! 

Soos wat jy jou ouers nodig gehad het ...

We get so busy and lost in growing up, we forget that our parents are growing old too. Just like they have been there for us all their lives, it’s time for us to be there for them. Just hug them and tell them, you are always there for them. Give them your love, care and respect, the 3 thing any person of any age wants in his life.

Here’s the heart touching story about mother & son.

After his father’s death, the Son decided to leave his mother at an old age home and visited her on and off.

Once he received a call from the old age home… “Your mom is very serious please come and visit her.” So the son went and saw that his mom was very critical and on her dying bed.

He asked: Mom what can I do for you.

Mom replied : “Please install fans in the old age home, as there are none. Also put a fridge for betterment of food because many times I slept without food”.

The son was surprised and asked : Mom, while you were here you never complained, but now you have few hours left and you are telling me all this, why?

Mom replied : “It’s OK dear, I’ve managed with the heat, hunger pain, but when your children will send you here, I am afraid you will not be able to manage!

“Love your parents and treat them with loving care for you will only know their value when you see their empty chair…”
