today in the clinic a bright little boy came walking in with his parents
doc says that one of his ears totally cant hear and there's nothing anyone can do abt it
the hearing ability of his other ear seem to be progessively declining and he must take care of it..
one day it might be so low tt he needs a hearing aid
one day it might become flat such tt he needs a cholear implant
with one good ear he can still be a doctor
with one good ear he can still be a lawyer
but with one good ear he can't be a pilot.
the room fell silent for a little while, while everyone looked at boy. he smiled.. not knowing what to say.
mummy all along say.. " icic.. ok i understand icic" and they left after thanking the doc..

moments later, mummy was at registration counter
she was crying.. and hurriedly wipe off the tears in her eyes. not wanting boy to see them.

the person witnessing it all felt terribly upset as well.

breaking the news seemed like passing a sentence sometimes.
