Sometimes we go through very tough challenges in life and we always find a way to solve them, to make it through them but sometimes there's just no escaping it, no matter how you deal with it it will never go away, it stays with you forever. That challenge is called CANCER, a virus that will never go away, incurable. Though detected early, it can be dormant but it might come back to haunt you again.
My uncle is suffering with cancer right now and so is his family. His health was fine when we knew about it, everyone from family and relatives panicked and then the help came in. We were there to support him in his chemotherapy and all those things to get rid of cancer. His stomach was getting bigger and bigger by the day and so were the hospital bills. Everything was still okay, the cancer didn't really hit us when recently I visited him in his house and saw him in bed looking like a stick, literally. He was very thin and bald and was just sleeping there in his briefs. I couldn't take seeing him like that so I transfered to another room and took a breather. What was that I saw? I asked myself. Maybe, just maybe, that could be me in the future. I was really hurt and sadennded by his state. Where was my funny and hospitable uncle? I couldn't see him anymore. I remembered those days when he would joke around and when I used to go to his tailoring to get something done.
My cousins, his sons and daughters, told me that sometimes he couldn't recognize anyone anymore. I was crushed. Life is so short and we really have to live it before cancer gets us, before we forget people. I asked them if what next? They answered me that they already accept what is going to happen and life is life, nothing is constant in the world but change, people come and then before you know it, they go. I am preparing myself for what is going to happen to my beloved uncle and I pray to GOD to bless his soul and his family too.
There are no words to describe how we all feel for our sadness about my uncle. Sometimes, you just wish for one thing: to live longer.
