Prayer for Ah Pek

My beloved and dearest Uncle; whom I fondly call as Ah Pek has recently been diagnosed with a mild disorder but nevertheless, the news about it has left me in shock and constant worry over the past few days and I couldn't help thinking about how much I want to be right there with him and give him a hug and tell him that this little niece of his love him very much...

My Ah Pek; is the elder and ONLY brother of my Daddy and he simply dotes on me since I was very young. Probably due to the fact I was the first grandchild in the family back then, I received lots of attention from the whole family; grandparents and my beloved Ah Pek.
My Uncle just adores me and could never turn me down wherever I want to follow him; he used to buy me toys and drives me out in his Toyota car.
In short, I was just the apple of his eye.
As I grew up, Uncle could never hide his pleasure whenever he sees me and due to my academic record, I have always been his subject of conversations with his colleagues and relatives....
"She's a smart girl, look at the A's she's got...."

Then when I got into university, Ah Pek was so enthusiastic that he drove all the way with us to see my entry and even treated me to a big meal...
When I finally graduated, he was the happiest of all, bringing his little newly bought digital camera to snap memories of me graduating and entering into the world; having to admit that his little "naughty girl" (as he fondly calls me due to my princess like ways as a little girl and the whole family giving in to me:)
Uncle was truly there for every major moments in my life, in a way, he's like my second Dad...a father who will never give up on me and who will always be proud of me:)
In fact, he even volunteered to be my Godfather during my Confirmation at the age of 16....
Words can't describe how much all these mean to me....and though he may not know it, I have never forgotten a single thing he has done for me....

Last Sunday, I was alerted by a shocking revelation.....
Phone rings*
Hi!
Hi sis....it's me
Oh...hey bro, what's up?
*Whispers at the back...."Do you guys want me to tell her or should Daddy tell her?"
Huh? (What's up?)


Sis, just want to inform you something....
Yeah, what's up?
It's about Uncle...we just talked to him earlier....
And..?
Well, he's having some problems with his vision and he has gone for medical check-up
It seems that there's a growth near the corner of his eye
:O
Doctor referred him to a specialist and they advised a surgery to remove it...
It's a benign tumor; not cancerous...
Ohhhh...
But still, to avoid any issues, they are advising for removal...
Ohhhhh....is he okay now?
He's doing fine...just waiting for his appointment to see the doctor and see what he says tomorrow
Okay...I will call him then
Sure....
Are you okay?
Yeah, I am fine...I will talk to Uncle...

I know this is not a major operation, but I just couldn't help worrying...
I have always been a worry wart....
I know he will be fine, I just pray that the Good Lord will be with him all the way...
and also me.....:)
