had to travel back to india on 7th of this month after getting call from home saying dad is sick... he was crying aver the phone saying he desperately wants to see me... i went home the next day... the night he saw me, he slept after many sleepless nights... next day, things look good till around 10 in the evening... around then, dad's body started to swell up and pain started from his throat to his stomach and on his legs... we rushed him to the hospital... that's where the 'happenings' of my my trip started... soon after dad was in the casualty, a lady was brought there... she was much younger than dad... she died right in front of my eyes... doctor did everything to save her... i could see the fear in her eyes...struggling to breathe... and passed away... soon after that dad was admitted in the hospital...
in the course of next one week, too many things happened... i saw 3 major accidents... don't know the outcome of 2... but in one, a 23 year old boy passed away on the spot... i nearly escaped from 2 accidents... in one i would have gone beneath a truck and in another avoided a head on collision with a car while over taking another... could sense the protection of god heavily... am typing this entry just coz god was gracious to grand me life till today... thank god for His protection over me...
whole week was stressful and tiring... but no way i could show that i was stressed... so i laughed and made people around me laugh... my niece had a good time and so did my sister even though she ended up doing an awful lot of cooking... she cooked lot of things for me... she made sure that i was not missing mom... even after eating good food, i lost 3kgs in a weeks time... guess loss of weight had something to do with stress... somehow, couldn't sleep properly when i was there... there were days when i had only 4 hours of sleep... wanted to sleep in the plane while returning... but a baby was crying for the whole 4 hours...guess he/she was have ear pain... so can't complain... couldn't sleep enough yesterday too... so i think i have to sleep as soon as i reach home today... having bad headache already...
didn't get much time with mom or dad... dad was discharged from hospital on saturday... i brought him home by 5 in the evening and by 9, i was rushing to the airport... so kind of sad for not able to spend enough time with them... especially mom... guess i am missing her... i wish i could have a long weekend and go on a trip all by myself... any place will do... but need a break... may be a small back packing trip...just roam around as much as i can and relax... as of now.. i think, bintan will be a good choice as i can't get a long weekend...
but, during this time in india, i managed to be in the rain... walk and ride a scooter in the rain... i was waiting for that for long time...enjoyed it even though i did it when i was having flu...
back in singapore, yesterday was one of my friends birthday...celebrated with her... went to my cousin's place to pass him some eatables which his mom asked to pass to him... and now back to work... with awful lot of things waiting for me...
if you happen to read this post... plz do pray for dad and mom... keep smiling... and forget not to make someone laugh...God bless
