I was supposed to visit a second-uncle (my Ma Ma's nephew-in-law) at the hospital today. But instead, i went for his wake.
Everything happened so fast. On Wednesday/Thursday, we were told that he was admitted into the ICU. On Friday, his condition worsened. Today, he passed away.
Everything happened so fast. He was diagnosed with pancreas cancer around Chinese New Year but didn't tell us about it. The doctors suggested an operation that would cost RM50k. Being the great husband and dad that he was, he decided to skip it and save the money for his family instead.
He was told that he only had about six months to live. Between that time and his death, he even went to work despite his condition for another day at work meant another day of salary for his family. Also, he took his two children (both still in high school) to a Buddhist temple for a talk about the circle of life. He was preparing his kids for his death.
So a few days ago, his health took a shocking dive, which resulted in a death that surprised everyone in the family. It was only two months into his six-month-period left in this life. He was only 49.
Life is so fragile. One minute you're okay, the next you could be lying six feet underground.
Uncle, although i only saw you at most five times a year but out of these few visits, i can tell that you're a great man. So i really do hope that you rest in peace and enjoy the new chapter in life. Don't worry about Auntie and the kids. I saw them today and your kids may be young but they are holding up and I believe they will take good care of Auntie. Until the next time, RIP.
