I am the luckiest !
Later last year, after knowing my father-in-law's cancer, then surgery, my mother's twin sister was found to have lung cancer, and while both me and xy have been worried about both of them, while a lot of family members horrified, worried for them, both of them showed STRONG buoyancy.
My father-in-law was the only one in his family that seemed NOT worried, he was so positive dealing with the disease, as if it were a cold or flu. A few days after the surgery with 25 cm of his colon removed, he actually drove the people who came to pick him up back home! Of course he has been the strong person in the household, always took care of others. But being able to show that buoyancy in front of this kind of challenge is very very impressive. As a happy and strong spirit as I am (or I think I am), I am totally unsure that I would be able to do it if I were him.
On my aunt's side, as a strong believer in God, she gave her whole life and fate to God, always worked hard, never worried, and was always optimistic about her future life. Even though recent news had it that her white blood cell count has dropped to 2400, which handed a big roadblock to further chemotherapy, she still poured all her love to her family, to her work, to God.
Whenever I looked at these people in my life, I really felt I was so lucky, I was lucky to have a healthy body, I was lucky to have a good job, (or maybe I should feel happy just to have a job), be able to do what I like, and be able to feel the great results.
I am the luckiest, I feel lucky, I feel really blessed. I need to find someone to thank for...
