I was 22 when I was caught in a vehicular accident, fracturing my ankle in the process. Had a surgery and thought di na ako makakalakad nang ayos and mali-limit na ang galaw ko. I was confined in the hospital and shared a room with a woman in her 40s. During that time, I was depressed because of my situation. The woman who I called “Tita Yoy” told me, “You were lucky to be alive. Enjoy mo lang yan. Not everyone is given the chance at a second life.” And then I learned she had cancer. 🥲
