tuesday

i looked on helplessly as my dad struggled to wake up in the ICU. i fought back my tears, my mum broke down immediately. in my 21 years of life, i've never been so emotionally overwhelmed. the sight of it was just simply unbearable. the strong hands i've come to know since i was a young boy looked frail and weak as they grabbed and pulled randomly. i've never seen him like this before.

Life is a gift. i've done nothing to deserve it. i once heard, that it is impossible to love something until you realised it could be lost.

Everything in life is a gift. And life itself, is the greatest gift. it could be snuffed out in a second, it could be lost, and i cannot take a moment of it for granted.

John 10:10 (New International Version)
10The thief comes only to steal and kill and destroy; I have come that they may have life, and have it to the full.
