Not for keeps

Yesterday, a 6 year old girl I didn't know passed on after battling mean neuroblastoma for 2 and a half years.

It was a painful journey for her tiny body and an unimaginable emotional torture for her mummy.
She has an older brother who is also coping with the loss of his beloved sister.

I cannot even begin to imagine or understand the pain of chemotherapy, the pain of watching your lil girl go through chemotherapy and then after fighting so hard, having to cope with her loss.

I cannot even begin to imagine without almost shedding a tear myself.

And she is definitely not the only one. Yes, there's a silver lining in everything, yes, everything happens for a reason, yes, she is at a better place, yes, god loves her more, yes everyone dies. But knowing that doesn't stop one from the emotional torture of longing for your lil daughter, knowing that you can never see her smile, hear her voice or hug her ever again.

It's an emotional turmoil of an unimaginable level. For this one,
one has probably no choice but to muster all the strength to continue living each day at a time. To all those strong souls out there, I admire you for not giving up living because I'm sure dying might seem like a better choice than missing your lil child's sweet smile.

Rest in peace, lil one.
