For the first time in my life, I'm really really worried about my mom. Because for the first time in her life, she is in hospital for an op. Her constitution is very frail, but that has never meant much to me until now. Even though it is a minor operation, there are so many things that can go wrong. What if she reacts badly to the anaesthesia? What if her anaemia causes complications? What if something else goes wrong?
I was going to offer an incense to Guanyin and pray for my mom's safety, but as I walked out of my room I see my dad on the couch and incense already lit on the altar. I asked him why he woke up early and he muttered something about buying things from the market. Then he asked why I woke up early and I muttered something about phlegm and my sore throat. I really am a chip off the old block.
