Floating Thoughts

This week seemed to pass ultra quickly =) and I think I should be happy about that. 3 more weeks and I'll get to fly to HK! Really excited about that...Since I will not be updating the blog during this period, I shall upload my China trip entry (which I posted in my prev blog, now I found my source code) and fill up the space =D

2 weeks since mum is not at home. Don't really know what she's doing at HK. But at least she doesn't need to tidy up the place and doesn't need to help me with all the things over the weekend. Didn't do much during the weekend, just rotting at home and try to save money for HK trip =)

Have to move bunk again~ and I managed to get a better bed position. Actually the bunk we got became ultra small (8 people in 8 man bunk - fully utilised) not like those days whereby it was 5/8. The drivers are going for their course also...but time will really fly after this week I think.

I came across this chinese article quite some time back. But now this mother was interviewed in a Phoenix TV programme recently, so I managed to know her name and surfed the net about her incident


Link to the Article

It's a very touching report. It is about a mother, who was examined to have a bone marrow failure, giving up all treatment procedures due to the heavy cost of the treatment. Although her sister's bone marrow can be donated to her, she cannot operate with no money in her hand.

Then she waited for her days to end...but all this while she was thinking of her 3 year old son at home. So she wrote many letters to him, for him to remember his mother after her death.

This mother saw an article in the newspapers asking for submissions. It asked for essays written by the parents to their children. So this mother submitted these letters to the publisher.

And the readers were very touched by the letters, so they donated a lot of money, so that she can operate. And she has already carried out the operation. Now she is recovering well in China.

(I'm not very good at narrating the whole incident. Please refer to article)

I'm quite touched by the article. I wonder if parents are always thinking about their children. Everything they do - it's for their children.

It's unconditional love.
