Life is fragile.. live it to fullest!

My parents are both in their late 50s. Their health has been fine so far, besides problem of high blood pressure, and for my dad a few other small ailment which on the whole, do not pose any great danger on their life. I am very thankful for that. However, in the recent months, my parents have witnessed their close friends of many decades, falling ill and feeling down. As their friend, my parents played active role in giving them support and care, encouraging and cheering on their spouses in these difficult times. I wonder what went through my parents' mind as they made visits to their friend at the nursing home, when they heard of Uncle KH trying to end his life, when they heard the shaking voice of a friend whose wife has cancer and he is one they thought is the strongest among them. When my mum talks about her friends, sometimes I can see the tears in her eyes. But she knows there is nothing to cry for, but to be strong for them, helping them in anyway she could.

I guess life is so fragile, and a person is so vulnerable to illnesses. As we go through our daily life, lamenting how hard we work, worrying about not meeting deadlines, about not having enough money, sometimes we might really forget that health is still the most important.



Whatever it is, live life to the fullest!!
