YOU gave love a deeper meaning.

This time, the main character in this post is someone that I've never met, spoken a few times on the phone and being called 肥妹 (plump girl) by. He's someone not close, and not stranger to me. He's my buddy's dad.

I went to Bangkok, and only till today, I heard from my buddy. She ask how's my trip and I said fine. When I ask her back, she blew some shocking news to me like explosives. I felt so sad. Although I used to think her dad make no sense when talking to me, but still, it's that kinda special thing that went on when he talk to me. I feel that he was just trying to know me more, since I am his daughter's buddy.

He'd contracted cancer and it's at his last stage. For now, he had just done an op to patch back a hole in the stomach, so he can't do any chemo to make things better. Hopefully he will get much better and start his chemo soon.

It's always sad to hear someone is critically sick. When I had fever or some minor illnesses, it is miserable enough for me to take. I can't imagine the pain that they go through contracting illnesses that might cause their lives. They are strong, as in my buddy and her family. They have accepted the fact and facing it, instead of denying it. I respect their courage and realistic view of life.

For the moment, i believe they will continue to be strong and live stronger each day. I pray for their safety, their health and their courage. I pray for his health and recovery.

Please love your love ones and spend more time with them. I am learning to love my family more and spending more time with them. You will never know what might happen to yourself or them that might cause separation from each other.
