Fragile..

Spent the whole day in neonatal intensive care unit..
Saw how fragile we humans are, truly..
Those innocent little eyes looking straight into yours, bringing you into their helplessness world..
They cried in agony yet without any audible sound as a plastic tube was placed into their mouth without which they couldn't breath..
The wires here and wires there, my heart would miss a beat everytime the alarm sounds, the measurement of life is just by the continuous lines and numbers on the screen..
Unlike those Johnson's and Johnson's baby who's just so healthy and chubby,
those infants were without any fat and the skin so dry and wrinkled..
Unlike those babies who can go home with their parents and enjoying every moments of their parent's love, the babies in the ward could only have a few hours of the comforting hours
For the rest of the time, they are cared for by their 2nd parents: the nurses and the doctors..

Life is fragile.. yet that's the reason why life is precious.. treasure it well..!
