Life

i have always talked about the quality of life, singaporeans been the practical and realistic bunch always do. Everything we do, we did for a better life, for ourselves, our loved ones. And sometimes we, even I, forget the fundamentals of life. That life, is just about staying alive and been happy living. Nothing is more precious than life itself.

I learnt from Juli that earth is only a place we are visiting not our final destination, but the above is. But departure can still hurt.

For the past 2 days away, i had been going in and out of the hospital in company of my aunt. Her bestfriend, Auntie Wendy has been admitted for a very severe asthma attack. The attack caused her brain to be damaged due to lack of oxygen believed to be contributed by the delayed aid. She is now living with the help of the medical equipments, without them, she would go.

It was heartwrenching to see, not only her with tubes in her body but also how the family members are taking this. If it aint easy for me and my aunt to accept that she is leaving us, how do they do it?

in the cab down to the hospital, i told my aunt (gugu): 'life is very fragile, you can be well a moment ago and it can not mean anything in another'

it is easy to understand that she will be going home, maybe somewhere better, depending on your faith, and that every one has to go through this and it is just a matter of time. But it may be the hardest thing to execute. They will have to decide whether or not to take the equipements off and let her leave tmr.

I didnt plan for this kinda situation to be my reminder. But it is and i will remember.

condolences,
