Theres something beautiful about this.

Haven't posted in awhile. Busy with work and life

Anyways just wanted to share a quick story with you. The orphanage i volunteered at contacted me recently and asked if i wanted to help out this past weekend. Being the natural upstanding citizen that I am, i politely declined. However scheduling conflicts made it possible for me to go there last minute and I did and i came across this family. Just a typical Thai middle class type who had a 10 year old son at the hospital where there was an event. So speaking to them i managed to get a story that really really got to me. Their son was very ill, about 1 percent away from being terminal. The cancer which had consumed him was quickly spreading throughout his body and the doctors said chemo probably would not save his life. They advised the parents to save their money as there was little chance of it actually curing or fixing him. The parents declined and plugged away their savings (including his college fund) into the expensive treatment. And miraculously things began to look up however, about a week ago the boys condition took a nose dive for the worse and his life expectancy was measured in hours not days. Sitting there with the parents, i asked why they had done it, put in so much money when the chance was next to non of a successful operation. Their reply was simple, because he is our son. There is something beautiful about this.
