Living with Death.

i saw true courage and will power. i was stunned and taken aback.

the patient had cancer, spread to the vital organs of his body. his prognosis is so poor, he might not be living thru the yr or even months. i cant believe that he is still so cheerful and walking about now.
the team of doctors told him they have done their best and explained to him that there's nothing they can do anymore except for chemotherapy, hoping it'll not worsen. i think if that were to be me in his shoes, i would have thought my world is crumbling down, i would have done stupid things to end my agony. i guess that'll be cowardice.

but what he said really shocked me, i nearly cried then(YES i was feeling so sad i could cry at that point of time hahah.)

"thank you... Yes, i'll fight on."

YES I"LL FIGHT ON. he merely said that with such determination twinkling in his eyes. such bravery, i thought. such Bravery. and i can sense his sincere thanks to the the healthcare ppl, be it from high ranking doctors to the polite old lady cleaner who helped changed his bedsheets. i salute this guy man, he has my utmost respect.

ordinary person with exordinary strengths. dont you agree?
