Whether it was how to better help a patient they saw that day, or the details of the next event they had to organise for our local church, I knew my parents were always focused on their neighbours' needs above their own. Often, I'd wake up in the middle of the night to find that they had been called out to mediate in a domestic dispute—now that I recollect that, it was probably a little bit illegal. They installed in me a never-ending commitment to serving those around me. Despite sometimes facing betrayal and disappointment, they have always demonstrated to me how to persevere in hard times, how to hold on to integrity and stay true to the vision from above, and I acknowledge them in this House today.
