Day 2 - Life will never be the same

It's the second day since I was told of the shocking results. The atmosphere was slightly better than yesterday but it's still very worrying. After undergoing a biopsy, she was visibly tired. In fact, soon after the anaesthetic resides, the pain steps in. From her look, it's definitely heartache to see such condition, but I know these are only the tests....

Undertaking all her responsibility at home, I started to understand how taxing and repetitive her work would be. Personally carrying out the tasks made me realised how much she had contributed to the family, now I know it's my time to shoulder her responsibilities for her to rest adequately. Thankfully, despite the inconveniences, she guided me through the chores such that I wouldn't look so loss...

After a brief visit by my aunt, we were aware of the need to completely overhaul our eating habits. We understand the road to recovery require strict observation at her eating habits. She could no longer take the dishes she loved like crabs, eggs and lots more. She could rarely join three of us for dinner and take the same meal as us. And the first thing she said upon understanding this stunned me for a moment:

"Life will never be that interesting again"

Somehow upon hearing that, I found the sky was not the same anymore. I can feel that her perspective on life is not the same. Even the dinner in her absence felt so gloomy. Looking at other families at the restaurant, tears started rolling in the eyes but I know I couldn't break down. Upon understanding her tough stand on chemotherapy, we really hope the traditional herbs would cure the demonic disease within her soon. I understand, the road to recovery would be a long one, but trust me, I will be your side through the journey ahead...

Treasure every moment and support her beyond the limit :) It is an obstacle where 2 parties need to overcome together. Stay strong.

Unlike me, I felt lost. At least you are at her side giving her support, whereas I am far away from one of my closet relative who will be going thru the operation soon.

Cheers up and best wishes...
