Appreciate your life..

One minute, you could be talking to that person and the next minute, you might not be able to see them anymore. That is how fragile life is. I really dont understand why some people could actually commit suicide and end their life so easily, so irresponsible.

Not everyone has a second chance in life. No matter how unhappy and how frustrated u are, u should never throw away your life. Think of your loved ones, your family and frens, they care about u very much..

When my dad collapsed suddenly one night and died 10 years ago, i promised myself and my family that we should always appreciate our lives and be thankful of what we have. I was 16 then and losing him was a big blow to my mom. Despite feeling lost and heartbroken, she told me and my bro to accept the fact bravely. "No matter how tough is the path in front of us, we should never give up. We will walk through it together."

Things went fine and we moved on with our lives. But we suffered a second blow when my grandmother went into coma after a simple catharact operation five years ago. I felt helpless. She was a lil bit nervous when she was pushed into the operation theatre, and i assured her everything would be fine. I guess she knew she wouldnt.

She woke up from the coma and transferred out of ICU after a few months but she was not able to talk, move, or eat anymore. We sued the hospital for the their mistakes in the surgery but that could not undo what has been done. She died after 2 years, spending the whole time in bed. The lawsuit is still ongoing until now.

My uncle who was fighting for justice for my grandma was then diagnosed with cancer, doctor said he had only 6 months to live. That incident totally broken my wall of faith and hope. I felt like the world was tumbling down. He left behind his wife and 2 young kids (7 and 9 years old).

This morning, while i was still sleeping, i heard a loud conversation outside my room. My mom's voice sounded shaky and worried, so i rushed out of the room to check out what happened. My brother's jaw was out of alignment (prolly dislocated a little bit) while he was yawning. It may sound funny now but when it happened to your family or someone that u care about, it's not any close to being funny.

I was scared and worried at the same time, not knowing what should i do to help. He could not close his mouth at all because his jaw was out of place. He was putting his hand on his face, trying to support and fix the jaw, but i can see that he was in pain. The helpless feeling that i felt when my grandma fell into a coma hit me again. Tho being nervous herself, my mom tried to calm my brother. I almost cried when i was washing up and getting dressed to send him to the hospital.

As we were about to leave the house, my bro managed to get the jaw in the correct position, somehow. He was able to talk and close his mouth normally. I was so relieved, but we sent him to the hospital anyway, just to see if everything is really fine. And we spent 4 freaking hours, waiting in the emergency room.

The doctor said he couldnt do anything, now that the jaw is ok but he mentioned that it could happen again easily the next time after the incident. Therefore he should be careful and not to yawn too big. So guys, please control yourself and your mouth when u yawn. Apparently, this is quite common.

I am so glad that everything is ok. It was a very tiring day for me and i am mentally and physically exhausted. I need to rest now.
