Member-only story
“Silent Night…Holy night…” It was the start of a new year, 2019. While I was looking out of a window at the clear sky, a group of birds was flying and I was thinking about my past year. There were a lot of things that happened in my life. In January 2018, I planned to study in the USA. I reserved a ticket to come to the USA in April. My younger sister was diagnosed with cancer five months earlier and it didn’t look good.
This was a difficult time for her and our family. She was so young, only 41 years old. Her cancer reminded us of how fragile life can be. During this time my sister and I would walk together and talk together about life, searching for hope. Although we are Buddhist we often visit Christian churches looking for hope. We often prayed for God to help her, looking for a miracle. In the church, we would find other people looking for hope also. What could we do to keep her life just a little more longer….Oh please help her… hope a miracle to happened even we never know about the real meaning of it or might be he will give a decision for a next life…..we never know.
