today i visited a dying 2 year-old baby. his name is randy. i don't really know exactly but i think he got a tumor in his brain. for months he'd been battling against it through chemo and some other strong medications but as we all know it, every battle has its ending. his body couldn't just take it anymore. i could remember i was there last month when he had his 2nd birthday party. that was the first time i met him personally. i greeted him happy birthday and shook his hands. that was also the first and last time i saw him smile.
though i knew already that he's about to die at any moment, it still broke my heart to see the poor little kid on his bed with all the tubes and shit - still trying to hold on. i'm not inviting any debate or whatever but i'm still gonna say this anyway. i'm just wondering, if there is a God who is omnibenevolent, why would he/she/it let this kind of suffering happen to an innocent little kid?
before i left, i looked at him and held his hands - most probably the last time.
for randy - you're a brave little kid. farewell, buddy.
