A Saptawnga mi zuk la suok el ei tih: “Sonja and I had always been the ones who visited the sick, brought the meals, cared for other kids, in times of need. We were adamantly self-reliant – maybe, in retrospect, to the point of being prideful. But that grueling stint in the hospital snapped our pride like a dry twig and taught us how to be humble enough to accept help from other people, physically, emotionally and financially. It is good to be strong and able to bless others, yes. But we learned the value of being vulnerable enough to let others be strong for us, to let others bless us. That, it turned out, was a blessing to them all”(p.153). A nih, lak nekin pekin lukhawng a nei lem. Ana chu pek ngai khawpa inhnuoia um chang khawm, tlawmna nun inchukna a ni a, chu chu Pathien hnaihna nun a ni lem.
