Appreciativeness & Gratefulness

My life mirrored a minor upheaval for the past one and a half weeks. Especially from the start of my sickness to the 2 days' of hospitalization. Yet, the fears were not mine alone.

Mr. Gecko teared while explaining to his colleagues why he needed the half-day off to accompany me to the hospital.
He stayed up till late in the night in the hospital with me for two working days.
He made two trips in the morning to buy me breakfast before work just so I could breakfast while resting at home. We have no car.
And today, he is sick himself. Now at home, it's the sick taking care of the sick :)
Sorry for the troubles, Mr. Gecko. I feel like such a baggage.

My dad choked on his tears and couldn't speak to me on the phone.

My mom stroked my chest and softly urged me to sleep while I was lying half-concussed on the hospital bed. Through my half-lidded eyes, I noticed her white hairs and red rimmed eyes. I am burying all 18 years of our estranged mother-daughter relationship, forever.

Mr. Patriarch Gecko released animals twice, just for me. Mrs. Matriarch Gecko prayed every night for me.

My sis made a special trip to have dinner with me while I was recovering at home. My little bro waited on my beck and call the whole of this week. My relatives crowded around me with worried faces.

I am on a social circuit whirlwind this week. To meet friends; anxious to know how I am getting on.

There were alot of times in my private thoughts, I felt I had given too much... I had the indecency to think I was the only one giving.

How little do I realise. How late do I realise.

Thank you everyone. Though my personal luck's so down, I really feel much warmly cocoon.
