Week 11
Finally, after leaving this blog untouched for so long (about 1 month...), I decided to write something here.
I always know that nothing in this world is predictable or can be forseen. Changes can happen anytime wihout even you aware of it.
True enough! I forgotten what was my last blog entry about, probably was my rant about uni workloads, assignments. Well, well, well, here comes week 11, the next week will be the end of semester 1. Gosh! It was like so fast! I'm still not prepared for exams yet, as always...
Yea... A month ago, I was excited by the idea that mum will be visiting me during the winter break. I already started to plan where to bring her around at that time. But now, something really sad happens... My maternal Grandma is dignosed with colon cancer, 3rd stage. Well, again prove that nothing is predictable, especially health.
My God...cant stop my tears from dropping whenever I came across this topic... I lost my dad when I was 7 years old. He past away because of cancer. I knew from my mum & aunts that dad met a not-so-good doctor and they said this contributed to his dealth. I'm not very sure about the whole story but I knew that the doctor wasnt quick enough to dignose that dad illness is cancer and of course those delays in treatment caused dad his life. Also because the medical development 14 years back, was not as advance as today. Back then, you dont have these huge amount of health supplements you have nowadays as well.
I always wondered if dad were still around today. Will we live a different life today? For one thing I'm sure, he get to witness the important moments of my life and well as Eric's. He can attend my graduations, celebrate my birthdays... But, that just wont happen.
When my 4th aunt was dignosed with cancer 3 years ago and my uncle also in last year, my family were in sime kind of nightmare again. Sometimes, I will question myself, is it because we did something really wrong in our previous life and accumulated such bad karmas until so many people in the family got cancer? I dont know... But I'm so glad that they both survived and are health today. I always pray for all my family members health when I went to pray my dad and I want to ensure that everyone of them are always in good health.
I know mum is very sad now, perhaps helpless too. A woman who went thru the suffering and lost her husband 14 year ago, once again have to face with such bad situation. As her daughter, at a far away land from her, I found myself helpless too. I so wanted her to come Melbourne and visit me because I miss her so much, but then I dont think she'll enjoy the trip due to grandma's illness.
So, the only thing I can do now is keep myself healthy and dont fall sick. Mum is always worried with our health because there's so many people in the family who suffered from cancer, high blood pressure, diabetics etc. As you know, family history is one of the factors to these illness.
I'll pray for my grandma's recovery...
