Life's but a journey..

When she put a lil' cry in front of me, my heart melted instantly. She was like a small lil' baby asking for attention. I put my hand on her left shoulder and comforted her. Then, slowly but loudly she told me, .. pain, pain..., while pointing to her back and stomach. She was 80 yrs old and had hearing difficulty.

I know that I have been talking about these old people lately. I have been working with them very closely nowadays that I didn't realize, I had bonded with them. I've learnt so much from them. And I learnt that there are so many things in life that I should appreciate and be grateful of. On the contrary, they started listening to me and make me like a friend.

My aunt's brother-in-law had just passed on. He was 72. I saw him 5 days ago in the hospital and he was well although he had a stroke. But things didn't went well. 3 days ago, he slipped into a coma and yesterday, he was gone. Life is so vulnerable. You never know what's gonna happen next. I don't know but tonight, I am especially disturbed. I have mixed feelings of every bit of life. Perhaps, it's the time of the month when the hormones go haywire, hehe.

Perhaps, my mum isn't feeling well these days. While my dad won't spell out his problems if he had one. I am kinda worried. I don't know why but I am just so worried inside. I want to help but it's not easy because they won't listen and I have no idea how to pursue as I am also busy with work.

Nevertheless, I put my hands together and pray for their health. Money can't buy health and even more, money can't buy family.


I could hear the rain outside now. I start to have phobia when the night rains. It's a sign. Somewhere, someone is leaving. Some people say that life is like a stage. But I'd say that life is a journey. Life goes on when we keep on breathing every second.
