I was watching Entertainment Tonight last night when I caught the news of Tammy Faye's inoperable cancer. I don't want to start blogging on a sad story but I just can't help it. Anyway, when you search her name in google, you'd get about a million pages about her, and I'd usually look for a result from Wikipedia.com since it's more comprehensive. Tammy Faye is a Christian evangelist and TV personality. She is "known for wearing heavy makeup and mascara".
What caught my attention was the fact that in a world and culture that has so many girls obsessing to get thin even when they're not that fat (count me in), there's someone somewhere who can't eat a hamburger but wants to devour one. She's now down to a frail 62 lbs. Check this link: http://www.tammyfaye.com/note20070716.asp
Tammy can't eat much since doing so will give her a hard time breathing. Her colon cancer has now spread to her lungs and is inoperable. She has requested her family not to tell her how long she'll survive. She is a strong woman and believes she'll go straight to heaven after death.
Can't place myself in her shoes. I don't know I would feel if I'm in her place, just waiting for my death sentence, the time when I'd be struggling to breath air, black out and die. On a side note, my grandpa died of the disease a few years back and I dreamt of him last night. I miss him and wish he was here...
