Seems like everyone in reflective mood so I shall put in my three cents worth............... I finally understood why people say that you must learn to cherish those around you cos when you want to do so, they might not be around anymore. as some may know my garndpa was in hospital in Feb and was in and out of intensive care and ended staying in hospital for ard 6 months before he passed away. so I took time during lunch and after class to go feed him ,look after him etc..........
it is not easy watching someone slowly fade away day by day, month after month, slowly forgeting who you are, bedridden, losing the ability to speak, move, sleeping more and more, wheezing for his ever breath......... I remember one morning I was so tired and it was exam time so I end up slouching and sleeping on the chair next to his bed.When I woke up he was stroking me on my head.
and finally when he passed away, I was at the freshmen welcome camp. due to work and preparation for camp, I hadn't visit him for more than a week.And by then it was too late.but i din drop a single drop of tear for his funeral cos i know it was hurting him too much to stay alive and i couln't bear to watch him suffer and not be able to help...........
so I agree with qinjie.......the ever wise one........
