THE BEGINNING OF A NEW JOURNEY

Many things have happened since January 16, 2010, the day when we went to China for the cancer treatment of my brother in law. We all knew that it will be a long and tough battle against cancer but we tried hoping against hope that everything will be alright. Fuda Cancer hospital is a place for advanced stage patients. The hospital offers hope for all of those who find their situations hopeless. But there were some things which were beyond human hands...a limitation to human lives. It was a very difficult experience but it gave us a better view about life, love, patience and sacrifice. Kuyang Juaning taught us the virtue of sharing love even when pain was too much to bear. He wanted to live a little longer not for himself but for his family. He endured all the pains of the medical treatment. Because he loved his family more than he loved himself. As he has gone ahead of us, he left an everlasting legacy...that in one's sacrifice for the others, people learned lessons the hard way. It was in one's unselfish act that one has to learn to give up...to learn to let go...and eventually find comfort from the sufferings of his loved ones. My brother in law is now in a safer and better place...where he will experience eternal joy and peace...where there will be no more pain and tears. For all of us he left behind, may we learn and start to move on... to find the courage to continue working on some unfinished tasks...and discover new meaning of what life is really all about.
