While millions talk about death, it never had enough impact on me until someone closer faced the cruel lashes of cancer in its 4th stage.
My sister in-law wasted away before my very eyes. When you think someone in the highlight of her youth & career at 39, slim, attractive, fair, flawless, and dynamic will not be easily vulnerable, I saw her for the first time: thin as skeleton, skull piercing her face, armpits wrinkled, lips chapped, eyes jaundiced, and skin with dark clotted spots... Her body from chest downwards were inflamed, belly, legs and thighs all swollen. It'll make you think she's fat. The monitoring device screamed angrily.
I can stand the physical deterioration, but I can't stand the rapid struggle to breath and the agonizing cries for a glass of water. JUST A GLASS OF WATER! The doctor's can't allow to grant her. I hid behind to wipe some drop of tears.
She died and will be buried tomorrow.
When someone is healthy and strong, it's easy to hurt them... Why because the word "sorry" lasts forever?
