REMARKABLE
Called Miko in the office this afternoon, around 5 or 6pm August 18 U.S. time. I was alarmed when his friend from the office told me thru YM that he's in his office sad and that I should talk to him. I immediately asked the friend if it's about work but since I didn't get abrupt reply, I just called him up to know the reason straight from the horse's mouth.
I learned that his Sister who lives in San Francisco was diagnosed to have a metasticized cancer. When everybody else was thinking that she's already ok after the chemo and radiation and when her doctor has cleared her up with her cervical cancer, here goes another BIG C story.
It was really a sad news for the whole clan. She's one of the most liked nieces of their uncles and aunties in their family. She used to be an area manager in a multinational drug company before she went to the US to give birth. And with her physique, nobody would ever think in their wildest dreams that she'll undergo such an ordeal.Life is really full of surprises and this is an unwelcomed and not a pleasant one indeed.
Miko and I have agreed since we are from different time zones now that he will call me at a time when it's still both August 19 in our calendar so we can still celebrate this big event together.But with this unexpected turn of event, the mood has changed and I am not a selfish person, I fully understand the situation but it only made me feel how ordinary this supposedly special day went.
He will be going to San Francisco tomorrow to visit his mother and sister and her daughter. He's also going to accompany them on Monday for her doctor's appointment just for him to hear directly from the source her current situation and if ever they'll seek second opinion.
I truly wish the first doctor was wrong. This family has been thru A LOT! and I truly mean a whole lot. I told him to not mind me for his family needs him now more than I do.
I'm sure they will be able to pull thru with this just like before.
And I'm positive about it.
