Life

A sudden emergency next door. My mother collapsed from a massive brain hemorrhage, and the doctor told us her consciousness would never return.

Yesterday, I accompanied my 80-year-old mother for a brain MRI scan and realized just how much she has aged. From struggles at the reception desk to the dentist's office dilemma, she seems trapped in a tough cycle. Seeing my parents like this makes me realize more than ever: I want to stay sharp and independent for as long as I’m alive.
