Came across this article in Wan Bao about a 24-year old using blog to communicate with her mother who passed away in a recent accident. She regretted not spending time with her mom when she was alive and now she's using the blog as a way to communicate and remember her mom. Quite sad isn't it? It's usually the case, things are taken for granted when it comes too easily.
Visited the blog, very clean look and touching records, but entries are in mandarin. http://blog.yam.com/imissmama.
My colleague who was diagnosed with stage 4 liver cancer in mid January came back this afternoon to submit some papers for insurance claim. His diagnosis came as a shock as there were no symptoms, he was fit and never went on MC. He has been away for almost 2 weeks for an intensive chemo. So depressing to see his current state, thin, yellowish and thinning hair...and from a seemingly healthy soul to so sickly over a span of 1 month. He's so young, 34.
Things are so unpredictable, so do treasure what you have and spend quality time with your loved ones.

This is easy said, but its difficult to do it. I will constantly remind myself of treasuring those around me but when nothing happens, this will slowly fade away. It will re-appear when someone you know passed away or is down with some terminal disease. Isn't this quite sad? All said, we still must try to treasure everything and everyone that we loved. It will be too late by the time things happen. Even writing blogs will not wash away your guilt ...
