"People, than NO People"

I've always been a fan of Grey's Anatomy but ever since I've lost my own personal TV due to ATT receivers, I would always watch it whenever possible. On one of the episodes, this elderly lady would keep dying. She was given only 3 years to live but she's somehow managed to pull through everytime. This time when she was really "going to die", her nieces & nephews flew to her bedside. Instead of being compassionate towards her, they keep asking the doctors when will she die already because they all have meetings to fly back out to the next day. The doctors become annoyed and doesn't understand why they would wish their loved ones will just die already. It turns out for the past three years, everytime their Aunt would start to die, they would all fly out to see her off but eveytime she miraculously manages to stay alive. By the end of the night, when she really was going to die, the doctors argued amongst themselves about how they didn't want her family members to be with her because of their harsh treatment towards her. After the Aunt came to, she overheard the doctors discussing about her loved ones and uttered softly "No, People than NO People."

Just imagine how sad it would be without the ones who raised you, without the ones you grew up with, without the ones you swapped your kindergarten lunch food with, without the ones who wipes your tears away, without the ones who put a smile on you, without the ones you love.

Don't take everything for granted. Live in the moment, learn to appreciate every day, and cherish love.
