今朝プールでいきました。そして仕事を続きました。頑張ります！

今天游泳了。之后继续做事！继续努力！

Went to Mahesh’s prayer session today. I didn’t know he was Sikh until now. It was also good to meet up with Vincent. Understood from Mahesh’s brother that he had lung cancer (stage 4) that spread to his bread. At first, things seemed to be recovering when it was discovered in Nov 2014. By Jan 2015, things were fine. But there was a relapse and he spent the last 6 months fighting for his life. He also shared (with Vincent) that he lose the use of his limbs sometimes and begin to slur when talking. My heart sank. As the prayer continues, my short but memorable scenes with Mahesh kept playing and replaying on my mind. I feel helpless. I feel sad. But I also know I need to learn from this and become better and really watch my health. I miss you Mahesh. I hope you are in a better place now.
