'You have been issued a new lease of Life', we often say to those who narrowly escape death.
But what does it really mean?
After a false hope from various misdiagnoses, I was shocked to be confronted by cancer at a late stage.
My anger at the assault, helped me fight.
However, as I & cancer clawed at each other, snippets of my former life flashed before my eyes.
I dug into memories, images, visualisations of my life especially at times when I felt weak from fighting
Meanwhile, a constant regret was why was more of my life's journey not in videos? What memories of our life together would my young son remember if I had died?
As a solo parent, that is a very vital question especially in a world without the core community of extended family to pass down such memories
That is WHY I began dumping memories here
It is not about how perfect the images are. My plan is to preserve the memories as is so that 50 years along, we can recall and laugh over them.
