the truth… it’s terminal
"things happen for a reason. you may not always understand, but in time and God's grace, you will."
that's what my mum always tell me. i think she was just preparing me… us.
and the truth finally came out. he was so brave to keep it to himself all this time. but her pain and suffering and our ignorance about the what's really happening made him decide to tell us the truth.
SHE is terminal.
my heart is breaking into small pieces and my tears are overflowing.
why her? and why now?
now that her dreams for me are happening.. why now?
he told us about it. he's been keeping it from everybody. he told himself he will wait for me…
i have never seen him cry.. until now. i feel his pain. he's been there all this time with her. he's been there.. always.
she is his rock. his world revolves around her. and today, he showed his side that i haven't seen growing up.
i guess it's true.. it takes a lot for a strong man to cry.. and in most cases, their most beloved will make them cry. and she did.
his voice is shaking and i can sense his fear at the same time i can sense that he's relieved. relieved that now, all of us know what's happening to her.
it's never easy.. and we will never be prepared.
his words are:
"we have to be strong. we have to learn to accept that eventually she will be taken away from us, we have to be there for one another"
Be strong Sheryl. I can’t imagine what a difficult time this is for you. Try to enjoy the days you have with your mom and with your family. Time and those who love you will help you to heal. And your mom will always be with you, as she is a part of who you are. Your parents relationship is beautiful. They are lucky to know such great love.
