Listening to drenched.

Today is just like one rainy day when I found out my umbrella which I relied upon is perforated.

Guessed I love this song for a reason after all.

Learning the bittersweet way, who doesn't?

That day, an amputated uncle arrived in a wheelchair aided by his wife, for his intended-routine yet not so regular blood test so that we're able to make tailored dosing adjustments on his current medication. Aunty entered looking slightly exhausted, uncle was humbly smiling and greeting everyone with his hand gestures and gentle nods. Blood test wasn't pretty for uncle, as usual. Aunty apologized for not being able to keep up with our scheduled appointments. Just a month ago, she woke up in the morning unable to physically rise from bed. Since then, she was tied down by daily appointments to a series of physio therapies due to severe spine ache. Tears start rolling not only on aunty's cheek, but uncle's as well. Uncle apologized using both his slurred speech and hand gestures. For the past three years, aunty has been the only one carrying uncle onto her motorbike to get them both to hospital for appointments. We made adjustments for the next appointment. As I turned to uncle, ready to give him the most supportive smile I could, he gave me his.

Many a times, my patients taught me more than those I could offer. (:
