Hoping for a Miracle...

Today is the start of a new month.

Remember the colleague who has cancer? I heard that her condition has worsened. It seems that the cancerous cells has spread rapidly to other parts of her body. And she has leukemia.

leukemia [(looh-kee-mee-uh)]
A kind of cancer in which the number of white blood cells in the blood greatly increases. Leukemia usually spreads to the spleen, liver, lymph nodes, and other areas of the body, causing destruction of tissues and often resulting in death.


I haven't go visit her yet. I cannot imagine how this news would affect her. I keep thinking to myself, "How well did she take it?", "Does she already know her condition even well before the doctors announced it?".

I don't dare to visit her, seriously. I know I'm not as strong as she is, and who knows what will happen if I were to see her in her current state now. The last time I visited her, I always thought that she believed that she can be cured. I cannot imagine how devastated she must have felt now. For now, she needs more than just prayers and good wishes from us all.

She needs a miracle.
