I had witnessed a sad incident last year.This made me learn that life is precious and we should treasure it as we would leave our family crying for us if we are gone.
It was a fine afternoon.After school ended,I bought some fruits and went to Changi General hospital to visit my grandfather who had suffer from a stroke a couple of days ago.
Though i had been to the hospital with my family before,i had forgotten the way around and thus wandered to an operating theater.Suddenly,a group of hospital staffs rushedin with a man on a stretcher.The man was bleeding profusely."It must had been an accident"I thought to myself.A frail old woman and a woman,who i guessed were the man's mother and wife,were close behind,inconsolable and hysterical.They wanted to go into the operating theater badly but were rejected by the hospital staffs.I had already forgotten my motive of coming here and sat in a corner, praying that the man would pull through alive.
After approximately an hour,the light outside the operating theater went off and the doctor came out first.He said solemnly,"Sorry,but we have tried our best."The man was pronounced dead as a hospital staff pushed the man out with a white cloth over him.The wife collaspe while the mother ran to the man's dead body and tugged him as if to wake him up.I could not help shedding tears and went off as I could not take it anymore.
From that day onwards,I promised myself that I would treasure my own life and not cause grieve to my family.
