71 Forever Yours

It wasn't that I wasn't happy for her, I was. I was just feeling sorry for myself because I screwed things up with Mu Kai.

How could I be so stupid?

What the hell was I thinking? I knew what I had to do and the first step was to apologize to him.

So I called a Taxi and stepped out into the brisk night air. So I had the cab driver drop me off at the soup kitchen, I wanted to volunteer one last time before I started chemo.

Once I start, I can't be around groups of people, especially the homeless with their colds and illnesses. So I volunteered for a couple of hours and told Auntie Lee the wife of the head community what was going on.

"Oh Ru Wen, I'm sorry."

"Don't be Auntie Lee, I've been through it before and beat it, and I can do it again."

She high fived me.

"That's my girl. I know you will and if you need anything, anything at all, you call me or anyone here, and we'll be by your side in a flash."
