The Blind Uncle

last week on my way home, i saw a blind man taking the same bus as me. nothing happened until we reached bedok interchange. i was alighting when i saw him again. a bit concerned as he looked a bit disoriented, i waited for him to alight first. well, he was disoriented - seems like he is blind recently. i told him to turn right instead of left but when he turned right i warned him a bit late, by then he already hit the pillar. i felt bad so i asked where he is heading to. since i only need to do a bit of detour i offered to send him there. honestly, this is my 1st hands-on with a blind. i hold his backpack in order to lead the way. it's a bit difficult so he told me to stand on his left so that he could hold me instead. well i went to his left and not sure what to do, i reached for his hand and walked hand in hand *grin. i was used to walking fast so i felt bad when i realised i kinda dragged him along. that was when i realised we were walking like a couple l0l. i let go of his hand and that was when he said, 'i'll hold your shoulder and you lead the way'. well, to cut it short i managed to send him to his destination and went home. my journey home somehow was a bit lighter, at least i did something good for someone even though we ended up like a couple strolling the bus interchange at first. ah, uncle - i wrote this 'cos somehow i suddenly remember you and wondering where are you now. i hope you get use to you disability soon.
