He Ain't Heavy, He's My Brother...

As I took Labbie for her walk this evening, I met up with someone dear to me along the same road. Today he was walking very slow instead of his usual "fast pace." Later I heard from my mum that he is not feeling too good.. the side effects of his 11th chemo begins to show the side effects and its "ugliness." I felt very sad when I heard that...

All along the treatment from #1 till #10, he was still alright, he could walk faster than me... he sweated and HE had the stamina, his determination to fight against the cancer was very positive. I hope he will continue to carry this determination and the strong will power to go on and on.... I really pray that he will... don't give up..

"I feel your pain, your sorrow.... though I do not show it, I feel very much for u... cos... U AIN'T HEAVY... U R MY BROTHER...and I Love U..."

suituapui said...

Ya...really sad when one has cancer. But if it is in a later stage already, it is better that they move on quickly. Sometimes we have to be cruel to be kind. The pain is really too much to bear. May God have mercy on us all and spare us from such suffering...

reanaclaire said...

peiyi: hope he does.. he is too young..


stp: not later stage .. but dont like to see our loved ones suffering.. it pains our hearts..

Tekkaus said...

Be by his side and pray. May God be with him to ride this huge wave. :(

My Little Space said...

Firstly, I'm sorry about you brother. But I have to agree with suituapui! We really have no idea what is the pain he is suffering. We could only feel sad and sorry for him, and not other than that! Tears cannot help either and that's the fact. May god bless him along the way! Take care and be strong.
Best regards,
Kristy

Gratitude said...

I think most, if not all of us, experience having a loved-one suffering from cancer.
Prayers do work. Take care ya.
