Last year I told you about how my mom beat the odds to come out a winner against cancer. She's been cancer free for another year which is another miracle. Everyday is a miracle coz she's still with us and we have the Almighty to thank for that.Not all is hunky dory I'm afraid. After extensive chemotherapy my mom's health has deteriorated and has never really recovered. Though she has been cancer free all these time she is never the same as before she had the cancer. She gets anxiety attacks, short tempered and memory loss. When she talks she can talk for forever not letting you have a word in but mainly repeating the same things over and over again because she had 'forgotten' that she's said that before. She also can't stand being idle, she needs to have company all the time and gets panic attacks if she's alone that's why she would ring up everyone just to talk...even at the weirdest hours! I'm a bad son, sometimes I would get very impatient with her and try to avoid a conversation with her because she can be a pain. I know it's not her fault coz she's not herself anymore but still I feel guilty when I do that...I think I'll try to call her again to wish her a Happy Mother's Day.

Cancer is like the 'f...' word.
Only 1 mth ago, my bro wrote to me that my dad has brain tumor, within this 1 mth, he has undergo 2 surgeries, radiations.
From a top notch bizma, Tai Chi guru to someone who could hardly speak, walk, have anxiety attack without company, cried often etc...
I feel so sad that I could help my 2 siblings for all the things they have done to my dad. ( I am going home after my summer A class).
Life is so fragile, we take for granted that we can eat, swollow and breath the air and we often said thing like, 'I want to go ..., I want to do this ...' but we don't know if tomorrow is there for us.
But, there is a great hope, when we go to heaven shore, there is no pain, no tears, no cancers and I look forward to that day.
Happy Marder's Day, Wuching's mum!
