Best post I've read all day

Props to Joshua Chiang and the TOC crew for keeping with the story and giving us a glimpse into the simple yet happy lives of this family. To be able to face adversity and laugh is a quality that everyone should aspire to.
Remember the homeless lady who was seven months pregnant when we first met her staying in a tent in Sembawang Park? She gave birth to a cute baby eleven days ago.
She reiterated what she told us the first time we met her - the family only needed some extra help to get back on its feet again, but not to the extent they become dependant on others. Now that they had finally a roof over their head, her husband had done what he said he would do when we first met him - he found a job at a restaurant. (He had quit his previous job out of concern for the wife's safety when they were staying in the park)
Go read the note, it's worth your time.
