... his first born was a perfectly normal teenager and collapsed without any prior health reason?
... his first born has been lying in bed for the last 2 months plus, comatose?
... even after 14 operations and perhaps more to come, his first born remains in the same condition?
how would any parent, or any one for that matter, whether you're a staunch catholic or not, be convinced that there is a god?
the next one month is going to be hell for me - i've gotta get my thesis straighten and written up by july 3. i'm not sure if i can do that but i don't think i have much of a choice. i also have another assignment due at the end of the month.
but i know, eventually, i will do it.
in the midst of all these, i think my problems are absolutely minute when i know someone is fighting for his dear life in hospital at this very moment. what kinda hell is his parents going through? what about his little sister who is barely 8 years old? what does she understand out of this situation?
whatever i am speculating or assuming, is not comparable or even close to what they are really going through. all i can do is to pray and i ask you, from the bottom of my heart, to pray for this young man and his family. for the strength to carry on, for the strength to surrender and accept the situation. for the strength to continue to love their little girl, in spite of her brother's illness. for the little girl, the spirit of understanding so that she may understand her parents' difficulty to be with her during this trying period.
