First entry of the new year. But things still can happen on new year....
I was at a frds place discussing biz n playing mahjong. I received a shocking SMS. When I read it for the first time, I thought that it was a prank. When I read it the 2nd time, I felt a weight upon me. A secondary classmate cum softball team mate of mine is hopitalised after being involved in a motor accident. She was riding pillion then. She had to be operated and was in ICU in critical condition. I immediately called up a few frds to see her the next day.
When I first saw her at the ICU, my heart nearly dropped. I really wanted to cry, but I knew that if I dropped a tear, I'll lose all control. I'll be holding her by her shoulders n shaking her vigriously to wake her up. After talking to her for a while, I asked her Uni frd abt her condition. She had actually woke up a few times n now she's considered sleeping. Apparently the doc who operated on her had said that its up to her determination that she'll survive. Anyway, she moved to the general ward that very afternoon.
I went back to c her wif Jen the next day. She's a bit blur blur but has regained concious. She could even recognise us n called our names!!! Since secondary school whn I knew her, she's very active, school cross country champ, sports day individual champ, softball team. While lying there, a bit blur blur, she displayed her active n restless side still! She was kicking pple for jest of fun. But most of the time, she's struggling n stretching n moving around. She said that her back was aching n her right eye is in pain. Those who were there, had to keep telling her to stop moving ard. When we left, she said bye bye. Seeing her recover, it was really heartwarming. I wanted to shed tears of joy, but then again, I withheld them back. Mainly becos no one was crying also... Heh...
The first thing I did whn I read the SMS, I was praying to God. Telling him not to take her away from us so soon cos she's only 21, so young, so much future awaits her. After seeing her that day, I thanked God, I thanked him for listening to the prayer and thank him for blessing her. I know I can never say enough thanks to Him.
"Father in Heaven, I thank you once again. Please bless BB in her recovery. Let her have a speedy recovery. Let her return to school asap. In Jesus name, Amen"
