I took a rest the whole of yesterday. I was not feeling so good. My throat hurts until now and last night was a struggle to sleep well. I woke up before 12am, then was able to sleep again before 4am. I have to brew some ginger slices which I drank as substitute for water.
I am so afraid when I get sick because over the years my immunity has gone down. If I have colds, it would take me weeks to get well. And to think flu is rampant nowadays because of the cold weather. Early this morning, I went out to buy pandesal for breakfast and I had to wear a face mask. Just a precaution.
I found this very inspiring and uplifting book entitled The Last Days of Rabbit Hayes. I could wholeheartedly relate, a case of been there, done that. Mia was nicknamed Rabbit by her family and friends. She is a young mother battling cancer. The story mostly happened in a hospice where she was transferred during her final days. She reflects on her life’s journey as she waits for the final hour that she’ll meet her Maker. She is an atheist though while her family members are Catholics. The support of her family members, her friends and her twelve-year old daughter makes the story even more poignant. Anger, hope, despair and denial, the love between a mother and a young daughter, the relationship of parents to their kids, the love between siblings. I guess this book is not for the weak-hearted for you will surely cry while reading it. But there are instances where you would also laugh and could easily relate to what they are all going through.
Anna McPartlin was born in Dublin, Ireland. Her inspirations are her friends and family. I wish I could find her three other books. I love the way she write.
I hope you’re feeling better, Arlene. Nothing like a good book to help heal. Take care.
