As far as from the Southeast countries such as Indonesia, Vietnam and the Philippines punctually arrived in the venue. They were given the chance to express themselves. The place was filled with a song Time flies, performed by a Vietnamese interpreter. Her melodic and affectionate voice perfectly conveyed the essence of the song. The lyrics emphasizes that no matter how tight our schedules are, special time and concern should be given to parents. As the time goes by, parents are getting older.

Maternal love is deeply rooted in everyone’s heart, but most of the time we are too shy to express it in words. A part of the activity and the most touching one was the footbath for mom. Children of patients wash their mothers’ feet. A way to impart their love and blessings of good health for their beloved mothers and to show that this moment is their time to take care of them instead- a tear jerking and heart-rending moments everyone would cherish.

A daughter of an Indonesian patient couldn’t contain her emotions and kept weeping while thinking how her mother gone through the dreadful disease, sobbing she said, Mommy, thank you for everything you did for me. I hope you can defeat cancer and get better soon”.

A male cancer patient even kissed his mom’s feet, cherishing gratitude towards her accompany during his stay in the hospital.
