...2 days after, my mom called and told me that she needs an eye surgery... (strike 1)
...during my mom's surgery (a week after she called), my tita (second mom, who took care of me when i was young) was there in the same hospital for her check-up and was diagnosed with stage 3 cancer... (strike 2)
...during my tita's operation, my father had an accident (at nahulog sa kanal at nakatulog)... (strike 3)
three strikes in just a month...i wanted to quit... sakit kaayu uy! ikaw daw lalim ba...
but then, if i'll quit, what good will it do? i mean, will it change anything?
so i pressed on, limping, but still moving... SingaFOR-WARD...
i'm in singapore as i write this and here are the updates of the people i love and left behind...
...my mom's surgery was successful (her eye patch was removed days before i left)
...my tita was operated and scheduled for kemo for six months (the doctor said she's doing very very fine, he's actually amazed how fast my tita is recovering)
...my dad though flipped the car he is driving sa kanal, buti nang walang tubig, he got only bruises and stitches in his left arm
lessons learned through the experience?
1) CHOOSE TO BE HAPPY EVEN IF IT'S PAINFUL
2) CHOOSE TO TRUST EVEN THINGS SEEMED UNCERTAIN
3) CHOOSE TO SERVE NO MATTER WHAT
Live, laugh and loveoutloud!
