Ah Chai's body is getting weaker and weaker, and we know that this day is inevitable. It was sick three times that year. Every time it scared the whole family. Sent to the hospital and hesitated many times, whether to euthanize or have surgery to suffer. It always gets better before the decision to have surgery. We know that this is Ah Chai stiffening, and he is also trying to get better.
December 11, 2023.
A chai, who turned 18 years old, died. Mom and Dad and I had mixed feelings. Achai, who has been with us for nearly 20 years, has participated in our life and growth. Achai is our family, an indispensable and loyal partner. Its departure means that a loved one has left its family. But if we let it survive in the midst of illness, it will only make us more uncomfortable.
I remembered what my mom used to say:
Death is a natural law that cannot be bypassed. In the face of death, we must be brave and fearless in the face of danger. Say goodbye. Cherish the moment.
After working independently for a few years, I still have to raise a cute puppy, and I have to call him Achai.
