I didnt go to the planetarium yesterday.... Dunno why I had that headache...Had a dream one of my side teeth was ready to pop out... Then... there was that news.... My boss sent me an sms about a very terrible news. The father of our subordinate got sick and is in a comma..... The news struck me and all the memory came back.... I spent the entire afternoon calling some people and inspite of my condition (i am still trying to recuperate....) i had decided to make a visit to the hospital. Visiting the father was not my priority, it's the daughter that i am more concerned with.....
As i was driving alone, my mind travelled way back.....
My family is no stranger for hospitals.... We have been in and out of hospitals that we've become experts when someone in the family had to stay for two nights or even for forty days...... You can say that my family has been brought together many many times by incidents that left us together staying for a long time in this place....
When i entered the ICU room... it was clear that my subordinate's father was struggling to deal with his body... a machine continuously pumped oxygen and i could see from the monitor that his heart beat really fast and the oxygen level was not stable..... So sad to see her cry, telling him that his room is now clean and that it is ready by the time he goes home..... It is so painful to see her cry...wish i could have done something more than just giving her a hug and words of encouragement......
All i did was just to say my prayer that his heartbeat will soon be stable, his oxygen level is increasing and that he can wake up soon so at least the family can listen to what he was trying to say that he couldnt say during his comma.....
Be strong Trees..... I know you can persevere......
