UNIMAGINABLE!

Unimaginable! Yes, truly unimaginable but surely only by the grace and mercies of God!

Elizabeth, our 11 year old daughter, suffers from Autism - a neurological disorder that makes her special from other children. Teaching her simple traffic observations is a constant "nightmare" as she simply doesn't comprehend danger. She has never cross any road alone, let alone watch out simply for traffic in a carpark.

Last week, the unimaginable thing happened! Elizabeth has been told countless times to WAIT for her parent(s) if ever we are late. We have never been late before, not until last Monday, that is.

Upon reaching her school (Pathlight School) in Ang Mo Kio, she was nowhere to be found.

Instinctively, my wife drove and back-tracked the route which we usually travel to her school.

Lo and behold, Elizabeth was spotted walking alone and was almost half way home to Hougang! She has already crossed a few major roads, not counting the heavy traffic at the AMK Industrial area! I still get shivers thinking about it.

Only God knows and only His grace and mercies protected her from any harm. Praise the Lord!
