Dear Steemians.
I am not the best writer, not even close to a mediocre one, so I am not even going to pretend as one.
I have a cousin who is three years older than me.
I used to hate his guts, cuz he always bullied me when we were little, and I might have wished him dead a thousand times.
As we grew older, and as we started to get tamed by the world, he started to be a little nicer, but I still did not like him that much.
As we aged, he is now the best cousin, and also a best friend that a person can ever wish for, whom cares for his friends with selflessness.
When we entered the world of adults, he started bodybuilding and did grow his muscles huge.
Taking all these proteins, and other chemicals which I figured one day would bring him doomsday, and which did.
One day, his right leg started swelling up, and thinking that it's a minor muscle pull, he did not do anything about it.
When the thing got serious, He finally consulted a doctor, and found out that it was a sarcoma.
After surgical removal, we thought that it was all good, but, well, the metastasis made its way to lung, and he is now suffering from a stage three lung cancer.
Once a buff man is now skinny as a chopstick, with all his hairs gone due to carcinostatic substances.
Yet fiercely fighting the death angel, not losing his temper, is always greeting me with a smile, always full of happy thoughts.
I sometimes blame myself thinking maybe it was all the death wishes I prayed against him that got him pulled into this madness.
I am writing this post so that maybe I will be able to counter the bad wishes I made when I was a childish juvenile.
I do pray for him, wishing that he will get well soon, so that we will be able to hang out with each other again in no time.
But yet I believe, with help from you fellow steemians, I will be able to counter my death wishes made in the past.
Please do help, and pray for this poor man.
His name is KyungHwan Ryu. A Korean, 38 this year.
I do not usually believe in miracles, but well a man's gotta do what he can do. This, I believe, is one of the things that I can do for him at this point of my life.
Please do pray for him, for me.
I believe that he will get better soon and I cannot bear posting a picture of the man in his weak knees.
Thank you for reading.
