Sometimes, i'm just so grateful for the life that i had all this while. I mean, i couldn't help but to notice that there are so many people less fortunate than me. For instance, yesterday i saw this program called "finding angels" on tv while i was just flipping tru the channels. It tells about a boy who had some genetic skin disease since young. He is 17. Thats the same age as me... I couldnt explain it in words how much sadness i felt as i watched the life story of this boy. Because of this disease, his skins starts peeling off.. his hands and legs, they were so thin. He could barely walk. And he had a younger brother who suffered the same fate as him. As i watched my tears started falling. My heart really goes out to the family. It was really sad and touching to see how the mother of this two child struggle to make things better for the three of them. She searched everywhere for a doctor who could help them, yet it had not been successful so far. And she still didn't give up. It was stated that this disease is a very rare one and only happens to one out of ten thousand people. Why on earth did this family deserve such fate? *sigh* And i noe, they are not the only ones in the earth who are so unfortunate. i wonder how many others have suffered through their life.

If such thing ever happens to me, i dunno how i'll take it. Seriously, i can never be that strong. Thus i am really grateful for my life, and my family. God, please bless this family and those who need it and make their lives better.
