its been a long time since i last wrote something..
been busy and all, or simply just lazy to write anything.
well recently alot has happened in my life, and it has made me realised how blessed i am. yes i admit that sometimes i tend to be forgetful and take things for granted. i really ought to treasure what i have more and complain less about what i do not.
my dad went for an operation last week after he discovered that he had a lump near his stomach. i urged him to go for a check up cos i was really worried and he hasn't done one proper full check up before. i'm glad he went eventually after much persuasion and pushing. knowing my dad, if we had not done so, he would have waited till probably next year, or when he's really free before doing so. we went to dr kum for his check up. his blood test results were good and the lump was no biggey. so dr kum suggested that he go for a colonoscopy just to make sure. i'm glad he went, cos he discovered a tumour in my dad's colon and also some gall stones. so he went for an operation immediately. my family assured me that everything was okay, and my mom only told me about everything today, about her and my bro not telling me the possibility of my dad having cancer. i knew that something was not okay as my mom wasn't sleeping well and eating well during that period of time. she was just afraid that my dad would have to go through what she went through in the past, and basically i guess she was afraid of losing him. well, i would have freaked out too if they told me the worst possible scenario. well, thankfully the operation was very successful and my dad did not have cancer. but dr kum told us that if we had not discovered it early and went for the operation, the tumour might have been a cancerous one in abt 6 mths. it was quite shocking to hear that, i mean if he didn't discover the lump and went for a check up, and wait till only 6 mths later, what would have happened? i dare not think about that.
one of the most depressing periods of my life was the times when my mother had to deal with her chemotherapy. i remember clearly it was when i was in primary 6, and in secondary 3. ever since i was in primary school, my mom has gone for operations, but they were nothing major. so that time, when my mom had to go for an operation, i thought it was the same as well and i didn't worry alot. i never thought my mom would have cancer. it never struck me that someone i love so much would have that. i was very upset at that point in time as i was so afraid that i would lose her. i was only 12. sometimes, i had nightmares that she was gone. it was really scary. she told me only after her operation that she was going to go through chemotherapy. and i remember asking her if that means that she has cancer. i was still quite naive then. she told me that she'd do anything to live, because she was living for me. she didn't wanna leave me when i'm still so young, and let me grow up without a mother. i was very touched when i heard that, she is truly a great mother. she's my wonderwoman. the strongest woman i've seen in my life. she went through her chemotherapy, and she perservered and she succeeded in her battle with cancer. my mother is someone who is always very positive, and that is something thats very important when fighting with something thats so deadly. i remember she would drive to the hospital for her chemotherapy with her make up and perfectly manicured nails. no one would have guessed then that she has cancer. she never showed her weaker side to anyone else. but i knew that it was very difficult for her. sometimes she would get so tired and feel nauseous. she couldn't eat alot as her tongue was very sensitive and painful. i tried my best to be there for her when she needed me. i would say that its very fortunate that she survived it not once, but twice. she's my wonderwoman (:
i think my family is very lucky. well today my dad got into a car accident but thankfully he's okay and only his car is damaged.
i'm very thankful that my parents are so healthy now. i've learned something very important from them, that is to always be optimistic regardless of the circumstances and never give up. i think they've influenced my brother and i to be very positive as well. its true, most of the time, the house is filled with laughter. there's rarely a night where we don't smile or joke or laugh. thats the way my family is. we take things pretty lightly and dont dwell much on the unhappy moments. i'm lucky that i've them, they're my most valuable assets.
well, i hope i'd be more understanding and treasure them more. i feel that ive taken too many things for granted, and in a way, i've become relatively spoilt. i should count my blessings instead and be a better daughter and sister and give thanks whenever i can.
