Amanda

Ever wondered what it will be to be told you have only 3 more months to live?

What would you do?

A close friend of my BIL passed away recently.  When he realised and finally accepted that he has cancer, he told his wife that he doesn't wish to go for treatment and asked for his wife's support.  Friends and relatives couldn't understand why chose this path.  He would have survived if he went for early treatment, some thought..
But then, who are we to judge and criticise.  We have not been there.

Here's an enlightening example. A writer/blogger (Shannon) came across a twitter account of Amanda, a lady's tweets across the last 3 months of her life after being diagnosed with cancer.

Shannon created a video summarising the tweets here:

Do take a look and 'feel' how one's life perspective changed overnight.  No more complains about little things. Everything that used to bother us suddenly becomes insignificant.
With Amanda, no time was wasted on complaining and frustrations, she went on bravely to live the last 3 months the fullest.  And, here in Twitter, she left behind some wonderful wisdom for us to think about how we should face our own life.
