Darkness

"It's ok doctor. We understand English."

"It is I who is bad with languages."

"Multiple tumours. Terminal. Within this year. Take her home. Make her comfortable."

I finally told her. "Sakit macam Kak Jue. Doktor bagi 6 bulan."

She said she wants to move to KL to be near me.

Anything you want, Mama.

Drowning

Friday 17 April 2015.

My Mama was diagnosed with cancers of cervix, abdomen and intestine, stage 4 plus swollen heart and kidney.

She doesn't know yet.

I thought telling her Kak J was dying was the hardest thing I had to do.

How do I tell her about this?
