When Keziah was a 2 year old, there is a girl in church who used to carry her all around the church grounds on Sunday. Our church in Silver City was made up of five buildings spread over three acres or more. We have a main sanctuary, a kindergarten, chapel for the secondary school next door, a gymnasium and a long educational block.
Kelly is a bright , personable, sensitive and caring tween then. It is hard to remember how old she was when Keziah first appeared in church way back in 1994.But I remembered being quite worried whether she could handle Keziah who was rather plump then. A Sunday school teacher, I think it was Amy, reassured me that Kelly is strong, responsible and had her head screw on right. So from initially running after Kelly, I merely told her to return the toddler to me, not to pass her to any one else. That Kelly was good about obeying. She did not disappoint me, not even once.
Over the years I saw her struggle. Given a free choice, she would have made an excellent early educational specialist, whether in running a kindergarten or becoming a specialist like educational psychologist working with special children... She would be such a potential blessing to a whole generation of 0-5 children either in KL or Silver City.
The last I heard, she became something link with children, whether paediatrician or child psychologist, I could not recall. Maybe you would say that is fitting, right inside her area of interest too. But sad to say, she was working in a Singapore hospital the last time my daughter located her on face book. Great loss to our nation!
