life is short

The honours class chalet was a success! I was afraid that very few people would turn up as many did not reply my emails, but I'm very satisfied with the turnout. Was the busy bee, buying things, checking in and seeing everything was going ok. Afraid that there wasn't enough food but of course, we ended up with having lots of excess. Thanks to the many, many packets of hotdogs that we bought. Hahaha. Even though the chalet ended prematurely, I hope everybody had as much fun as I did planning this thing out. Especially the all nighter of games. But I'm happy that I finally can come home to my bed and a good bath, and then concussed for 13hrs, nursing a slight sore throat and a headache. Now I'm feeling better.

But, I'm afraid this year will be a most challenging year as predicted. My mother told me of my aunt's medical condition, and we are all expecting the worst. The doctors say that she will most probably not survive the year and that came as an extremely rude shock to me. Cancer is a most horrible disease, especially after she had already survived breast cancer. I hugged my mother whom I could tell needed all the support that she can get. She will be trying as hard as possible to make my aunt as comfortable and happy as possible. But losing your younger sister will definitely be a huge blow for my mother, as for myself, I just hope that God will grant my aunt the strength to tide through her final days and at least let her remain strong for my uncle and cousin, and it would be especially bittersweet if she could be able to attend my graduation. I will pray with all my might and soul as I dedicate my final semester, my honours thesis to my aunt who has always been been there and has been almost like a mother to me.
