Life's Wealth

Life's unimaginable turns and twists may be a welcoming sign

One should enjoy life's precious moments...

Mommy went into the hospital Sunday afternoon and I wasn't notified until Sunday night. I'm wondering what was happening to my family's minds not telling me right away...uuhhmm... Mommy had a minor attack of some sort of nerve thingy. Not a heart attack (so that's what the doctor said anyway..) but a nerve attack brought on by high blood pressure, high glucose blood level and diabetes. Are all these things hereditary? Because this was the first I have ever heard of being diagnosed in my family.

The past five nights were spent sleeping in the hospital. Not so bad but because the air conditioner had to be set a little cooler because of mom which was not at all offending... The only thing that really got to me was: Seeing Mommy physically for the first time so vulnerable and so fragile. It was almost being next to some stranger I didn't even know.

I cried silently while she slept peacefully. I shed tears because I was scared. Frightened of what tomorrow would bring. Will she be taken from me now? I hadn't thought about this and for the first time panic and remorse filled my heart.

Memories ran through my mind as I thought about all the things I hadn't said or done for her. All the things I wanted her to have and enjoy in life because she deserved them. Bringing up children as a single mom is life's real challenge and of all the people who deserve the award it should be her. I couldn't imagine life without her. She always wanted the best for us children that was her love for us. Forever worrying and frequently wondering about her children's future the role of mother had never stopped. I told her what would I do without her. She replied, "I cannot leave you yet for I worry about you." A warm tinge raced to my heart as I fought back some tears from my eyes. That was all I needed. Life should be full of twists and turns to let you know the reality of the true meaning of Love.

Mommy returned home today and I was happy for all. Not because she had fought and won but I have learned for the better. Take life's precious momments and not waste them. Remember them with all your heart because these are the things you can take with you, not the million-dollar house or the new sports car. These beautiful memmories are yours alone and no one can take them away from you. This is life's wealth.

In memory of Tom the King

For more words than I can express

A moment in time our paths crossed

Our friendship blossomed because you care

Forever etched in my heart your memory

Today I have restricted my Windows Live Space for several reasons: 1. I seldom update it anymore--my last entry was July last year! 2. I found out my blogging friend Tom the King has passed away Sept. of last year...






How life is so precious. I met Tom through MSN Spaces about two years ago and he helped me much about the technical aspect of blogging: how to display words on a page, upload a picture, but most of all he taught me the real meaning of friendship.....all through the internet. Despite the age difference we had much in common: Honorable Chicago Cubs fan, beer enthusiastic and fellow man with a goal in mind. His goal was to attain the upmost powerful message by using his blog composing laws because he was King. MSN Spaces featured his blog....TWICE. Upon receiving the award the second time, he really felt it unfair and said, "Hell they should have given it to those who really deserved it...I really don't qualify a second time."


He was a man of purpose: He used his blog to foster friendships thoughout the world. Everyday many fellow bloggers would stop by his space to see what he had to say. Last year he finally met and married Jin Yu Yi (Rose) in China. They had met and fell in love through the internet.


Tom is an example of a man who lived his life to the fullest even til the very last minute. He passed into Heaven in his sleep.


I miss him already.
