With a near-death experience in life, translated…
A few years ago, I fell ill, and, the result from my hospital exams were that I had a tumor. Back then, work wasn’t going well, I’d hit the reefs in love, and, my health started flashing red too, things seemed to, get worse, and I’d even, tossed and turned in the nights, constantly asked why.
The night before I was due for my call back at the hospitals, it was, it was, on the eve of the lantern festivals, I rode home alone, on the MRT trains, stood on the platform, with my heart so heavy, not knowing yet, if I should, go under the knife, felt, that my future is exactly like the night that preceded me, hard to see the dawn.
At which time, off to the distance, firework started flashing, it’d lit up, the originally darkened skies. I’d felt touched, hoped, that it may have been, a sign for me.
I’d walked into the MRT trains, looking troubled, thinking about my condition, as well as the foggy futures, the young child who was in the arms of the woman, sitting next to me, extended his childish hands, and, tapped me on the shoulders, and, smiled that smile of innocence at me, and, all of a sudden, it’d, exorcized the negative thoughts that had been, plaguing my mind.
“After the night, the sun will shine again.” It’s, as if, there was, a voice, telling this to me. I’d chosen, to go under the knife, and afterwards, to heal, I’d, quitted my job, to recover from my illness, then, I’d returned, back to the workforce, and in a brand new work environment, I’d met up with, my husband.
And so, there is, a plan for you, isn’t there, and, getting diagnosed with cancer, is merely, a bump in the road for your life, and, once you get past that, and, let go of all of your inclinations, leaving everything, in fate’s hands, everything in your life started to, fall, into place.
