Lee Wei Ling's article on her mum's sufferings.
'But the one who has been hurting the most, and is yet carrying on stoically, is my father.'
'But I find it difficult to accept my mother's suffering. The Buddhist principle of feeling compassion but with detachment is wise, but it is not an attitude that I find humanly possible to adopt when it comes to Mama. I cannot see her suffering with detachment.'
'But that is life, and we all plod on, fulfilling our duties as best we can.'
Found tears swirling while reading these portions. Just.... heart-wrenching.
