June: A Month of Trials and Triumphs

Dear June,

You started rough – filled with needles, endless IVs, and sleepless nights. There were days I wanted to give up, but the love and compassion of a few special people kept me going. 🧿🧿🤞🤞

Words fail me when I think about how P stood by my side round the clock while I couldn’t move, sleep, eat and endure painful procedures. Thank you just isn’t enough but for now, that is all I have. Thank you for living our vow of in sickness & health to the T. Grateful to almighty for you! 🧿

My family too stood by me almost this while. Be it my mom and mum-in-law or papa and papa-in-law, brother and sister-in-law, every member of my family cared for me in more ways than one and I will remain indebted to them for the rest of my life. Thankful to God. 🧿🤞

And, then June also showed me how invaluable my friendships are. They came to cheer me and kept motivating by sending me all the destinations they want to travel with me, just to get me through the pain of the day. So grateful to the heavens above for giving me friends who stuck by me through it all. 🧿🤞

June, you also gave me a glimpse of the most amazing healthcare staff at Sohana Hospital. While the doctors were unbelievably sensitive and thorough with what they planned for me, the kind and compassionate nurses were truly the ones who reminded me to smile through it all.

They were sensitive to my pain, caring enough to understand my fear of needles and professional enough to do their job impeccably well. Among others, they were the highlight of my time in that hospital bed. Grateful to God for them! 🧿🤞

June, you definitely put me through the wringer. You brought immense pain and heartbreak that I’d rather forget. But you also gave me a powerful reminder: life is precious and fleeting. Let’s live it to the fullest, love deeply, and embrace every feeling! ♥️♥️♥️

So, June, while your T20 World Cup win was a bright spot , it’s time to say goodbye. Please don’t return with such pain. However, I’m incredibly grateful for the strength I gained during this difficult month.

July, with all my heart, please be kind!
🧿🤞🧿🤞

Yours sincerely,
Ex Patient, Room 453
