Life is precious;
Life is a gift.
Everyday as I awake, I know I'm to make the best of it.
Why waste time complaining, grumbling and regretting when we can just learn to appreciate every single waking moment that we have because we'll never know when we'll be gone.
I'm not being morbid here but seriously having serious thoughts.
My grandpa had his first review after almost a month since his radiation treatment ended. The scope showed no more tumor (a small one) along the vocal chords though its still swollen (probably due to the radiation). PRAISE GOD!
But what I remembered most of the 15mins session was when my grandpop shared his heartfelt concern with doc. He wanted to know what would be the possibility of a relapse in the near future and are his chances of complete recovery good. Doc said he's optimistic about his recovery and he does not forsee a relapse in the next 2-3 years, though there might be a 50% chance of recurrance maybe 5 years later. Grandpop was not being paranoid or fearful but the underlying desire is that he wants to be able to live on for a few more years. So he also told doc he would not want further treatment should there be a relapse.
Sometimes we get abit irritated when he's anxious about his not being able to 'sunshine' regularly and his fussiness about choice of food. On the surface, he may seem abit 'manja' but I now know that deep down inside, he just wants to be in an optimal condition as far as possible.
When my grandpa said that he really wants to live for a few more years, that really triggered some serious thoughts about life in me. For someone who is almost 90, he's enjoying life so much that he wants more. Don't think he's being greedy, rather he knows that its still not time to go, so wnats to make the best of what he still has.
Time and tide waits for no man. Either we learn to cherish every moment we have or we'll lose it forever and ever. By then, its too late for any regrets.
I'm thankful for each new day that comes because I know its GRACE.
