Life is really fleeting...

This morning.... I spent time with my dad and mum. My dad looked weak and I can see in the span of 5 months, his health has turned bad. Although his body is weak, his spirit is strong. In my heart, I felt a tremendous pain and guilt, again. Not knowing what I can do to ease my old man's suffering. Three doctors observed my Dad when he was admitted to Pantai Medical Centre last week. After probing and inserting things into his tummy and conducting blood and urine test, His tumor has become malignant. and The big tummy is the side effect of fluids coming out of his liver. His cirrhotic liver is getting serious. He is going to the hospital for another review. The specialist are debating on how to kill the tumor cells without further damaging his weakened liver.

And another sad news came, a good friend of mine, went to see his GP this morning after he got a call, he went for a second HIV test screen and his result was positive. At this point, Life has taught me another powerful lesson. Indeed, if we do not take full responsibility of our own actions, we bear our own results. He called me right after his consultation with the doc. Sounding stunned and a bit down, I consoled him, then again; I thought to myself, who am I to dispense advice on what to do and what not to do? I don't even know how to ease my old man's suffering! I just smiled to myself.

At this point, I would say, I am learning a bit more about life. You see unfortunate events happening everywhere around the globe via TV and you thought to yourself, 'oh how sad, how pitiful'... then, but you don't feel it as you're not the one experiencing it. Now, I know how it feels...

Life is an interesting Teacher.
