A Sad Story

I was at KK Hospital on 14 Oct 2008 8am.

I saw a preschooler sitting in a stroller and another girl probably in the primary school. They were waiting for their blood test before chemo treatment.

I feel extremely sad for them and myself. Cancer has affected these children. What kind and sort of life they are having? Children at this age should be worry-free and almost stress-free. But what they face is probably needles and infusion, remain seated for a few hours during chemo treatment, more medicine to be taken regularly etc.

I feel sad because as a parent, how I wish the suffering is on me, and not my loved ones.

Health is priceless. Only when one loses it, then he will learn it.
