Trust and love go hand in hand.I'm thankful for my family and my real close friends in my life.Having real friends and family holds key to making sure you don't make stupid mistakes that you'll only end up regretting later on, reminding you where you stand and what you're worth.They help you see when sometimes you're so blinded by your own emotions.They fight with you, and things sometimes get messy when you don't understand where they are coming from and you think they're only out to stop you from having fun. But you don't realise... the only reason they go through the means that they do is out of love for you. Out of concern and care.They remind you not to put anything on standstill and that you have the whole world ahead of you, with endless possibilities.They want the best for you and the best you can have, and when you settle for less than your best, they get disappointed and upset. Sadly, for the most part, most of us are stubborn-headed and ignorant to take in our loved ones' words of well-meaning advice and years of wisdom.I am glad to have family and close friends who stand by me, keep their eyes out for me on standby and persist in their well-meaning advice, despite the hard times I've given them just being stubborn.I know you love and you care. I thank you for your honesty. I promise you I'm holding on tight to my principles and values. There is no way I will compromise on who I have been brought up to be. I know exactly what I have to do. Lots of love

In every dispute between parent and child, both cannot be right, but they may be, and usually are, both wrong. It is this situation which gives family life its peculiar hysterical charm.In family life, love is the oil that eases friction, the cement that binds closer together, and the music that brings harmony.No matter what you've done for yourself or for humanity, if you can't look back on having given love and attention to your own family, what have you really accomplished?We cannot destroy kindred: our chains stretch a little sometimes, but they never break. Other things may change us, but we start and end with the family.I love you all very much.

Walking across the cafeteria, greeting me with an open, warm friendly hug- that little act brought little joy sparkles inside me.Small things like that do make a difference.They say, love is elusive.I guess they haven't seen what I have in my weekly clinic where I see my own patients.They haven't seen how my 60 year old paraplegic female patient permanently bound to her mechanical wheelchair with a permanent indwelling urinary catheter; who has lost all sensation from her belly downwards being loved by her old frail husband. They recently lost their only son to cancer just 2 months back. She said to me today 'I pray to my son that I have cancer, so I can die too'. After our conversation, she replied 'You know, now I don't cry that much any more when I think about him, I feel he is with me all the time'..... They haven't seen how a daughter who lives hours away from her aging parents, come visit them a few days a week and take them home; and nurses after her father who every few hours leaks urine; who also stubbornly refuses to acknowledge that he has urinary incontinence and who stubbornly refuses to wear diapers. Mind you, this daughter is his only offspring, and on top of taking care of two elderly weak parents with multiple medical conditions; she has her own family of 4 kids to care for.She said 'Sometimes, I can only do so much; I have only one brain, one pair of hands, and so much energy. I don't even have time for myself'. It's not easy doing exactly what she does. Sacrifice for love and filial piety.Last night's Thanksgiving dinner party went pretty well :) Tonight, we celebrated Zoe's Birthday at home =) Happy Birthday Zoe!

SO take too many pictures, laugh too much, forgive freely, and love like you've never been hurt. Life comes with no guarantees, no time outs, no second chances.
You just have to live life to the fullest, tell someone what they mean to you and tell someone off, speak out, dance in the pouring rain, hold someone's hand, comfort a friend, fall asleep watching the sun come up, stay up late, be a flirt, and smile until your face hurts.
Don't be afraid to take chances and most of all, live in the moment because every second you spend angry or upset is a second of happiness you can never get back.When life gives you a hundred reasons to cry, show life that you have a thousand reasons to smile.
