可怜的伊丽莎白,让我们和她一起祈祷!
Today I rang up my interstate good friend, Elizabeth, and knew that her second daughter having operation to remove cancer from her breast as we spoke. This is terrible for her, she sighed that cancer took my children away one by one. Cancer took her only son in 1999, and the eldest daughter March this year.
I comforted her that cancer was so common nowdays. Someone told me that Australia became capital city of cancer!!! People ate too much red meat may be one of the reasons, also strong ultraviolet from Sun? She said that she didn't like eating red meat much at all, also people like eating them raw!!! I said that I didn't like either at all, I normally eat seafood. Why is cancer epidemic spreading so fast and widely nowadays? I don't agree with someone's explaination that nowdays people live much longer than before, so cancer becomes only prominent killer, because the age of cancer patients are getting younger, also many old people can live to very older age to even after 100 without cancer. My father believes that cancer relates to depression, he said that every 右派he knew all died of cancer!
Poor Elizabeth is still coping with the grief of lost of the eldest daughter, now another hit, it is too bad, too cruel.
Death is so horrible, no mercy to the loved ones to be left behind. Elizabeth is a sincere Catholic, so she asked me to pray for her daughter, I said that I would, and I did after putting down the phone.
I remember once I asked her why so many good people die of cancer? Why didn't God stop this evil act? She answered that this should blame cancer not the God!!!
God, please help her, let her daughter survive!
Thanks a lot.
