This noon, one customer came. She appeared to be very pale and lose a lot of weight. Something's not too right.....
She did not hide, and told me she contracted cancer. She just got married a couple of years ago and is only 30+ years old. It was a great blow to her, nobody expect it. As soon as she left, I let go of those tears which I fought back while serving her. I felt so sad for her. The term "Cancer" always give me goose bumps and fear, cos' my mother had died of lung cancer. It's a horrible disease, the pain it brings to the patient and their family is beyond description. After sobbing, it struck to me that through her, god had send me a reminder to treasure life.
For the past over week, I had been wasting my time with newspaper reports and negative comments on Facebook. I was totally blinded by my own anger and it's not worth it. Those people who are unkind to me will reap their sows.
Life is too short, I shall get on with life; treasure every sunrise, contribute my little effort to the society, continue to do what I enjoy and sharing my happiness with everybody!
Yes, make everyday worth it, cos' we won't know how many tomorrows we may have.
Very well said words!
