Migrants are the ones who bring the humanity to my country 💚
Already years ago Mrs Pastor of my church promised to visit my old mother who lived alone since years and who's very lonesome and ill. She promised it at least for three years. After 3 years she did it. No, no visit of course. Just a phone call to greet my mother. But this was at least something.
Since an half year my mother lives with me and I nurse her. But one problem stays: She's still lonely. Except me she sees NOBODY. No neighbour, no pastor, really NOBODY visits her or asks how she's doing. Although EVERYBODY knows that she's with me and that she's sick. Even my brother (her son) gives a shit for her. My mother can call herself lucky when he visits her 3 or 4 times a year for one hour. He even didn't visit her last year when she was for 3 months in hospital and I thought that she would die.
That Mrs Pastor doesn't come to visit her is even no surprise for me anymore. Although the church is directly in front of my house. But already in 2013, when my aunt died, NO Pastor visited her - although we have even 3 Pastors and although she went to church her whole life.
I was so desperated with my mother's loneliness that I asked a Christian organisation to come from time to time to her, to talk a few words to her. The organisation was agree. Just for a few kindly words like "How are you ?" or "What a nice weather" I have to pay 42 Dollar/hour. With all my best will - but this is too expensive for me.
A few weeks ago I met Sevda when I was working in my job. I don't know her much but she looks sympathetic, she has a job and I know that she is from Turkey. We talked a little bit about our parents and when she heard about my mother she offered to visit her and maybe even to go out with her. And yesterday she came and made even a little walk with my mother who had tears in her eyes. Tears of happiness.
And also Sevda seemed to enjoy the time with my mother.
Sevda is a migrant. She's from Turkey and I know that many people in my country want my country to be "free." Free from any migrants, foreigners and asylum seekers.
And I am sure that Sevda is no Christian but Muslim.
I remember that a former pastor of my church rejected to talk to people who are no Christians.
But I prefer to talk to a Muslim with heart than to a Christian without heart.
Sevda is certainly no Christian and she's a migrant. But she has what many people in my country don't have: She has humanity and empathy for others.
Looking at her I just can say: My country needs more people like her.
