Friends, I could only count on you for prayers and positive hopes for my mom’s quick recovery (Betty Abe). She’s in the hospital after two blood clot surgery.

Here’s a bad news. My mom just diagnosed with SAH today it’s a bleeding in the brain. She just got out from the operating room after 10 hours of operation. I will be visiting her in Ibaraki prefecture this weekend and to look after my two brothers. This is very sudden but at least it’s a miracle that she surpassed two blood clots and now she’s OK recovering. the doctor will observe her for a week or two. I have to ask my company to retain me in Japan or else I’d resign. They want me to re-assigned me to Singapore, it should be fine but my family needs me.

I would highly appreciate your prayers for my mom, this is the saddest time in my life; i can’t sleep.

We just got closed with my mom after years of being away. She left me in my grandparents when i was 2 months old. I know she battled a lot in her journey. I admired her being strong despite of low education. She managed to send me to school and financed for my studies till I graduated. Now I am a successful Procurement Engineer.
I owe this to her and my late dad.
My brothers are turning to be big boys.How fast they grow, i still remembered when she stowed them away coz her husband was brute.
She was a battered wife with her Japanese husband that is why they cut the 15 years of marriage.
When I heard the news that she was rushed to the hospital, i thought it wouldn’t struck me bad but as the clock add up seconds I felt something isn’t right.
I am far from her and I know even she’s unconscious, she would want her children to be complete.

I still remembered when we met 3 years ago in Narita Airport and talked after what happened to me in the Philippines and what happened to her in Japan.
We compared notes, I knew I didn’t understood her pretty much but she kept on telling me for all those years she abandoned me were her dark years.
She only hoped for one thing, to be with her 3 children together.
We are now complete 3 years already but she’s in the hospital laying and asleep.
This isn’t her time and God knows I’ve been cryin all day for her quick recovery.

I’ve mailed countless friends to help me pray for my mom. They said prayers can move mountains.
I believe so! And now I would want only one thing. To spare my mom so we could spend more years together down the road.

    Best wishes to your mother. I don’t have a good relationship with my mother and she is very ill nor do we live anywhere near each other. At least you can be there for her and help her thru this tough time.

    Hello IslandGirl,

    A very emotional piece…My prayers and best wishes for you, your family, and most of all your mom in this case…

    I too know what you are going through, as I have had quite a few relatives in the hospital before; it is a scary time to experience.

    Best wishes and prayers,
