So many of us wait to do the things we want to do. Everytime we want to do something for ourselves, we tell ourselves that we will do it after doing this or that. Or til we finish our work. However, it seems that not everybody can have the chance.
Uncle was told that he is in the 4th stage of cancer. He told the doctor to arrange for treatment the following week, so that he can go and settle his business. However, the doctor said no, radiation treatment had to start the following day.
Within weeks, his health started to deteriorate. The cancer had spread to his brains and he was too weak to do anything, too weak even to go for the trip that he wanted to go so much with his friends.
Yesterday, I was informed that he suffered a stroke. And apparently, this is a crucial period.
Although I have not been very close to Uncle, but he has always been very kind to me, treating me like his own daughter....I guess we all have to learn to treasure our loved ones more and to spend more time with them. And to seize the day to go for the things we want....we may not have a second chance.
Saw two accidents at the two intersection near my place, I wonder if there is any casualties. Wonder if those people involed in the accidents have a chance to do the things that they planned to do when they are retired, or when the kids are grown, or when.....
