(written on 8th September)
The times you pray the hardest, are the times when you're at your wits end. When you witness the degree of fear in your dad’s eyes for the very first time and you can’t do anything to make things better, it qualifies as one of those times. My dad has always been a fighter, meticulously plotted battle plans, zero-risk taker. U'll get better odds betting singapore to win the world cup than convincing him to go try a new restaurant downtown on saturday. But that’s exactly why he's been able to provide us with such a comfortable family life. He's the 'safest' as 'safest' gets. Going into the operating theatre for a triple bypass, that’s gotta be the biggest involuntary gamble he has ever made. I reminded him he was a fighter, a no-nonsense tough guy before he was wheeled in, and that I was going to see him in the morning. He must have remembered, because he came through after 4 hours, 1 arterial and 3 ventral bypasses. That's just one too many vessels you'd want replaced in your body.
