Adeline's younger sister, Berline (or Berls as she's known affectionately as by us) met with a car accident yesterday. I was so worried when I heard the news; Adeline kept me posted with the latest updates - Berls hurt her face and had to undergo plastic surgery. Fortunately, there were no internal injuries (God bless!) I took the liberty to inform Rightie about the accident (I thought she should know as we all know one another) and we thought of visiting Berls, then again, it may not be convenient as she may not like us to be around at this point in time. Well, let's wait for Adeline's indication...in the meantime, let's pray everything is going to be alright (It will definitely be alright)
This incident reminds me of when Bro had to undergo a corrective eye surgery last April. The whole family took leave to run through the paperwork and of course, just to be there for him, knowing that we could not enter the operating theater (We would dash in if we could, you know) Though it was considered a minor surgery, everybody could not help but worry about the slightest things, like, would he be in pain (Obviously no, as he would be under General Anesthetic), would the doctor screw up (Oh please, the doctor had performed on thousands of eyeballs before his) and so on.
We made sure we were the first people he saw when he opened his eyes and the first thing that came out from our mouth was "Are you ok?" before leaving him alone to rest for 2 hours before w brought him home. I am not sure if he ever remembers this scenario, but it is etched deeply in my memory (Blame me for having a memory of an elephant) I was quite touched though the recipient was not me. Yes, this is family love. A love that is completely different from that between a man and a woman. It's hard to describe; if I were to, I would say, "Blood is thicker than water".
Yes, Bro did say that the aftermath of the surgery was painful. I strongly believe that it would even be more painful if we were not around. He should be glad that his family members were around him in his moment of darkness : )
Back to Berls - if this is an ordeal that Fate challenged her to, she should not worry that she would be fighting the battle alone. Her family is with her always and not forgetting us, her friends. Like what Adeline commented on her Facebook, "You'll be fine", yes, you will definitely be ok.
