"Although I'm not from a rich family, I thank God for granting me a pair of loving, healthy parents and siblings + all my family members. Indeed health is wealth. God is good, all the time."
My uni mate's mum was diagnosed with cancer and has received word back that it's a bad prognosis. It must be a really tough time for him to juggle between studies for finals and his mum's condition. Imagine having final exam around the corner and the need to care for his mother. Gosh words cannot describe that feelings if I were to be put in his shoe.
What if one day, you were told that the person you love have 6 months left to live? What would you do? I don't know what would I do. I choose not to think about it for now. But if I were told that I have 6 months left to live, I wouldn't travel around the globe and spend til I'm left with the last penny in my bank account, although I know I cannot bring the wealth with me when I die. Instead, I'd donate to those who are poor and needy. I wouldn't want to be surrounded by all the sympathies as well, I'll live life til the last moment. I'll still do the daily menial task, run the usual errands, eat like how I used to, laugh more, worry less. I want to see the persons close to me to live like how they used to, or even better.
A moment ago, I sent a text message to both my parents, which reads: "Although I'm not from a rich family, I thank God for granting me a pair of loving, healthy parents and siblings + all my family members. Indeed health is wealth. God is good, all the time." From the song featured in Bucket list, "Say - by John Mayer", I've learnt to 'say what I need to say' and do what I need to do BEFORE we kick the bucket! I don't want to live life with regrets.
Does it post make me sound very wise?
Well not really actually. Because I've been wasting the past study week of mine!
Argh help. Help help help.
*Back to study mode*
In need of motivation,
Wennie!
