Flipping through the lifestyle pages of strait times today, i came across a newspaper article that touched me so much i was on the verge of tearing. It was an article of a former rafflesian fighting cancer, she is only 21 this yr, so tender an age and just last week or so, her condition has taken a turn for the worse, she has been only given a few weeks, up to 3 months to live. It suddenly dawned to me how delicate and fragile life is, so easily, a bright student with seemingly a bright future was robbed of her everything, her youth, her future. Everyday, suffering through the physical tortures of going through chemotherapies and other treatments, gnawing at her. mentally torturing her soul. Normally, one would have long given up the fight, but not her, she had not taken it lying down, she had fought it, fought the demon from the day she got cancer, and this had got me inspired. I would say she is a true fighter, one that fights all the way even though he/she knows he is going down. In her blog, onlyskindeep.blogspot.com, she stated she will not give up till the very end and hope she will be remembered in our hearts as a fighter always. Words from a remarkable fighter indeed, lets now all pray that she pull through and survive this ordeal, god bless her.
A torrent of thoughts surge through me, such is life, so delicate, ever so fragile, once taken, forever gone.....
Dedicated to Joan, the remarkable fighter that have rekindle the light of inspiration in me, to live life with zest, you will forever be the true fighter in my heart. Wemay have and nvr will meet but here i sincerely wish you all the best, God bless you forever.
life can be a burden, but dun ever give up
