Joan the warrior

just read the papers today abt a gal named Joan who developed tongue cancer... she was an ex-RGS gal and only 20 this year... when she discovered abt her illness, it was already at stage 4, one stage before terminal... she's currently not doing too well and doctor has said abt 3 weeks left... the cancer has spread to her spine and affected her greatly... she can hardly lift her head up, face is swollen, left ear has a buzzing sound always and her left hand keeps trembling... all these are stuff 1 month ago, so i suspect she must be in greater pain now... i feel so sorry for her... i can imagine herself asking at times, why must such a thing happen to her... she's a bright gal, with a uni place waiting for her... and she's so young, i'm sure there's alot of stuff she wants to do and great things waiting for her to accomplish... but she carries on fighting the disease... a courage i must praise... not everyone can stay positive in times like these... i really admire her...

life is really short for some... and this shows how fragile life can be... someone can be alright one moment, and gone the next... so for all of u out there, pls live ur life to the fullest... not everyone has the chance to do so... make sure u keep in touch with all ur friends, spend time with ur family and tell ur loved ones tat u love them... do not live to regret things u wished u had done... if u had made someone angry and do not haf the courage to apologize, go say sorry now; if u really appreciate ur family but never did tell them abt it, go tell them u love them; if u have a gf or bf, call him/her to say tat he/she is on ur mind now... remember, do not delay or think tat some stuff do not haf to say out cos they already know...

people do not need super heros, they only need brave ones...
