Have u ever asked urself this qn? Wat if u only have 6 months left to live? Wat if it strike so quickly tat the next sentence u hear is that u only have 6 more months? What would u do? Or rather r there things tat u have to settle? Have to let the people around u know wat they can or shld do after u leave?
A relative of mine has only 6 more months to live. He is married with 3 sons and he is the only one working to support the family. His eldest son is already out in the work force. But because his education level isnt very high, his job isnt enough to support the family. His second son is still currently serving the national service and his youngest son is only primary 6. His wife has been a housewife ever since they got married. Her husband has been always the one supporting the entire family. He has his own company. But recently, only recently, his company is not doing well. He has not taken his own salary for a few months already. Not only tat, the high medical bills is starting
to take a toll on their family.
Recently, my family (ok my dad) organised a durain party at my house all because my mum said she feel like eating durain**sweet right? And invited all my relatives. **Imagine a big group of ppl eating durain by the pool side.. *omg.. the durains alone cost us 2oo hundred bucks.. omg.. ok tats not the main pt.. wat i wan to sae is that their family also joined us.. n my mum noticed tat his youngest son did not join the other kids to play. Normally they would go play together as their age are all abt the same. But tat dae, the youngest son kept standing at the side of his dad.. Not only tat, my mum noticed that he slim down a lot.. so my mum asked him why he slim down tat much. And he juz gave my mum a weak smile. My mum told me that she felt that if she were to juz ask another thing, he would b crying already.. **omg so sad right?
And also i m juz wondering that since my uncle was told my the doc that he only has another 6mths, i wonder if he really have the time to grief abt himself.. Or is time so precious to him now that he have to teach n hand over watsoever he has to to his family.. Tell them.. guide them.. teach them.. so tat life wont be tat bad after his departure..
