Uncle Tan is 92 years old. When he was young, he and his wife were running department store business in Shanghai Street together. They had no children, supported each other, and offloaded the work burden in Hua Jia's year, and stepped into retirement. Fourteen years ago, my wife suffered from laryngeal cancer.

I buy it, cook it for two meals, I do it for me, and I do the housework for me." But Uncle Tan "he feels hard and is used to doing it."

Before the wife was sick, Uncle Tan often went to the King's Park in the morning with his wife. After his wife was sick, he had trouble moving. He planted plants in the living room at home so that the wife could feel the nature at home. "I saw the sun coming out of the street, I just planted the sun, and I saw more greenery." The wife had difficulty swallowing. Tan Bobert intended to cook some softer rice for her. Water, without water on one side, I eat hard and soft. " The wife will have a follow-up visit every three or four months. Uncle Tan will also accompany his wife to the follow-up consultation with the volunteers of the Salvation Army.

Two years ago, my wife was not as good as before, "I tried to fall, and I needed a crutch to go up the stairs." "It ’s easy to get up and go to the bathroom." It happened that the Salvation Army elderly home had a bed. She lives.

In the original home of two people, only Uncle Tan lived alone. He bluntly said: "My wife is worse than before. If you are not me, I will enter the hospital." When asked if I would miss my wife, Uncle Tan But he smiled and said, "I have nothing to worry about. I'm old and sick. I have no choice but to stay alive.

" After visiting my wife, I went home to take a nap, and then "wiped the house, smashed the TV, ate afternoon tea, and then started to cook dinner. Nakabe has time!"
