Life...

The wife of my friend has just been diagnosed with pancreatic cancer three days ago. After seeing the oncology specialist today, the prognosis is not looking good. She is old and very underweight. And she has been a smoker all her life.

Two people from my church have cancers: one has lung cancer and the other has lymphoma. On top of that, mum just went to a friend's funeral who died of ovarian cancer two months ago, leaving two young kids with the husband who is on disability pension.

So depressing... seems like having cancer is part of life! You are either gonna be killed in a car accident, or died of cancer!

And the fact that being struck by cancer is so random! Regardless of whether you are healthy, eat sensibly, exercise regularly or a heavy smoker who eats McDonald's everyday, no one dare to say that you are cancer-proof. And it can get you anytime...you will never never have a clue. Imagine spending three hours on the phone with your friend at night and the next day she/he is gone, forever.

Thinking that life is so fragile, it depresses me sometimes, even though I know I shouldn't, but live my life to the fullest, making the most of it instead.

But one thing I am sure I can do is to love my love ones more. And this means nothing comes before my family. I NEVER NEVER want to regret one day that I haven't loved my mum and dad enough.
