Fragility

I was controlling myself and trying not to tear when ET shared with me today about his sister's last days of her battle with cancer, about him quitting his job to be around in Singapore to help care for her, about him massaging her arms to diffuse the swelling caused by water retention, about how he missed saying goodbye to her by just a mere 5-10 minutes, about him breaking down in hospital, about him trying to console his parents thereafter; and about him trying to help his mother cope with her emotions evern to this day, a year on from her passing.

Life is precious. Take time to breathe and enjoy the things around you.

Treasure the ones around you. Appreciate them. Love them. Care for them. Be there for them.

It's not all about work or grabbing the next new gadget that comes out in the market.
