Meaning of Love.
Friday, December 19, 2008
It was 1.05 am in the morning.I was on the laptop,surfing the net,trying to rest after going out from Social Day event for nursing graduates and a date with Dee.
Dad came into the room,looking really sick and in excruciating pain,he told me to bring him to the hospital. I was dumbstruck.I wondered what was wrong with my father.He had been having fever for the past few days and it hasn't got any better.
My dad was breathing really heavily.I was scared,but I kept my cool.I walked with him towards the roadside flagged a taxi and told the driver to go to CGH.
I smsed dee,telling him that I was on my way to the A&E.He was really sweet.He too got changed and made his way there.
I was lucky to havee dee by my side because I don't think I could cope with the shock of my dad being so sickly that night.He wheelchaired my dad,made me calm and kept his cool about things.He even joked with dad,making him at least smile when my dad complained of pain,had bad chest pains and had a sharp pain on his back.He was trying to keep my mind and my dad's mind off things. Each time he told me to not worry,I brushed it off.I could lie to him,but I couldnt lie to myself.I was worried that something would happen to dad.I don't know what to expect next.
My mother was worried.Before going off my dad woke her up and said he would be going to the hospital.Mom was shocked and in a daze she wanted to follow but I insisted that she stayed at home.During that point,I really felt I am now responsible for my dad right now.I remembered my dad taking care of me during my hospitalization and now it's my turn.Gosh,I was really lucky to have dee with me all night by my side.
He accompanied me till mom got to the hospital,and we dozed off head to head at the day lounge side by side due to lack of sleep.Mom didn't wake us up because she saw we were really tired.
It was really sweet of him to be there although he would be working for the whole day starting 8am.I love you hunny.Thank you for being there when I really needed you.
I'm still nervous about dad's condition.Me and mom did tepid sponging on him.Thank goodness his temperature dropped in an hour's time.
D,it has been a blessing to have you as my partner.I couldn't ask for more.Thank you.
Oh god,please take care of my father.
