		<description>Hi Emmyrose,
this is the first time I'm visiting this blog.

How are you doing ?
I'm sorry for what have happened to you.
I hope you can get well soon. =)
Don't lose faith !

I got this illustration for you.
I extracted it from a book i read months ago.
Here goes:

============================

Once upon a time, there was a father with his 4 years old child.
The child was suffering from dengue fever,
so the father must bring the child to the doctor to check the child's trombosite from time to time until the trombosite gets higher.

On the first day, when the child was sat down on the chair, and had his hand tied by a rubber belt, he started to cry. The cry was louder when the needle goes through his hand and suck some of his blood up.

The next day, it was harder for the child to go for it because ke knew what will happen to him. He didn't even want to get off of the car. He was so persistent that the father must carry him up to the doctor, even though the child asked him to carry him home. The child didn't want to go to the doctor. When the child was sat down again. He was trembling in fear and he started to think,"Why must my dad do this to me ? He's never treated me cruelly before !"

Now let's first think from the father's perspective.

Did he know his child's fear and suffering ? Yes, he did.
Can he 'save' his child from the needles and just carry him home ? Yes he can.
Does he love his child ? Yes, he loves his child dearly.
Then, would he want to carry his child home ? No.

The children may think,
"Dad knows my suffering, doesn't he ?
Dad can avoid me from this suffering, doesn't he ?
Dad loves me, doesn't he ?
Then there's no reason for him to bring me here !"

Actually, the father was suffering too.
Imagine watching someone you love suffering, but not helping him/her, while you can, because of the reasons he/she doesn't understand. And the reason is for his/her sake.

So they both are suffering, but of different problems.

It is best if the child could think like this,"My dad knows my suffering, and he is ABLE to avoid me from it. So if he didn't, then he must have his own plan for me. I'll just trust in him."

============================

It's not much, but I hope the illustration could cheer you up a little. =)

Get well soon emmy ! God bless you. =)</description>
