I’ve been thinking of this subject for quite a while now. Especially since I saw the leaflet of Mitch Albom’s latest novel “For One More Day”. And more recently, thím Trường, got hospitalized and as of this morning, has slipped into a coma. This event has disturbed him tremendously. He could not come to the fact that he had just talked to her a month ago, and he will never talk to her again.
Life is tough yet so fragile, real yet so ephemeral. Nay đây mai đó. We all know that death is certain. That’s the only certainty in life. Yet some of us ( and I do too) sometimes lie to ourselves thinking that death only happens to others or to people we don’t know.
Last night before wandering into my dreams, I asked myself “What if I had one more day with my Dad?”. And so much thoughts came flooding through my dulled mind that I didn’t go to sleep until 2AM.
What if I laid on my deathbed?
What if Hưng had one more day with his Ông Nội?
What if Hưng could have one conversation with his Dad?
What if I learned I only have one more year to live?
What if I learned Hưng only has one more year to live?
And that’s why this category was created….
