I find that it is scary to know how unpredictable life can be. That makes me want to treasure and cherish every minute of my life, makes me appreciate the things around me and makes me count every single bit of blessings God has bestowed upon me and my family.
Mum's been updating me that Dad's health hasn't been very good but just a few days ago, he's taken a turn for worse. He was referred to the hospital by our family doctor to have a more detailed check done as he had difficulty breathing and in just a matter of half a day after being admitted into the hospital, his condition worsen and he's currently in ICU. I can just imagine what my family is going through now; seeing him under such a condition. I'm being spared from that as I'm so far away. I do feel kinda relieved at not having to see the actual condition of my dad but I'm also upset that I'm not around to give support to the rest of my family especially mummy. I feel really guilty at being so far away (twice now) when my family needs support.
One thing that I've realized through all these is that I definitely don't want to go by a single day without letting the people around me know how much they mean to me. It's just all so easy to take things and people for granted. It's just so easy to put superficial things on a higher priority. It's just so easy to forget praying and giving thanks to God. I'm certainly guilty of that.
In retrospect, I want to be a better person. Treasure life in the best way we can while we and our loved ones are still alive. In the pursuit of worldly contentment and happiness, many a times I forget, or pretend to forget!
