  • Uncle Soh has stage 4 cancer and wakes up every morning thinking about how his wife will be able to live well when he’s gone.

    May uncle soh have a smooth recuperation and auntie soh to have good business everyday!

    My grandfather passed from bone cancer. He was a rather fit old man before the diagnosis- he went jogging often and prepared food at home, watched TV during his free time too. When tragedy struck, he didn't complained nor gave up- he just sort of accepted it quietly, even when myself and his other grandchildren visited him, he was calm and collected- even gave us money for food, I tear up a little everytime remembering this little gesture. On the day of his passing, he was suddenly in great pain but grandpa fought hard- his soft grunts and calm composure kept us from falling into hopelessness. I wished he had talked and shared more, a humble man whom took care and loved everyone with little words, a true man of action.

      Had a similar experience, my grandfather passed away from pancreatic cancer. He was rather grumpy at times and I didn’t take him seriously. He had a rather painful couple of months before he finally passed. Still remember the day I heard the news after my literature exam.

      Same with my dearest grandpa, passed from prostate cancer. I look after him at night shift, he would constantly apologise for disturbing me. Coz he always felt the need to pee but actually nothing. Every 30mins or so, I will be summoned. Honestly I got upset sometimes, but when I think back now, I'm such an arsehole.

My Dad also had bone cancer so I know the ups and downs that Uncle Soh and Irene feel. I did my best to support both my Mother and Father through their journey. Uncle Soh wanted to cry when they gave him the letter, but I cried tears of happiness for them both. So glad they helped him fullfill his dream.

    Seeing this video makes me really touched 🥲… Aunty Irene is so lucky and blessed to have a loving and caring husband like uncle Soh, I wish them both a long and blissful life, and speedy recovery for uncle Soh!

    it is not easy
    The Death Paradox: You must know your death in order to truly live your life.
    Let's live, enjoy and contribute wherever we can.
    Hope Uncle Soh and his wife have a blissful life ahead -- more Bangkok trips ahead, and many overseas trips!
