      3 Small Words

      Isn’t it crazy how three small words can make or break your existence?

      I love you, I hate you, and you have cancer.

      In any circumstance in life, they are all hard to comprehend.

      I stared off as I heard those the words echo in my head.

      Josephine, your test result came back and you have cancer. The doctor said.

      I glanced towards the window and took a deep breath.

      It’s not a death sentence, we can aggressively fight this and you can live a long cancer free life. The doctor added.

      I think I nodded my head in agreement but I’m not really sure. A total numbness overcame me.

      I smiled and began dressing as my doctor explained what we would do next to fix this like she said.

      My mind blocked out much of what she said because it was trying to comprehend my diagnosis.

      I just knew I was about to have the greatest fight of my life.

      I will make arrangements to start treatment a.s.a.p. The front desk will have info for you, ok? She continued.

      I nodded again as I grabbed my purse.

      You can do this. You are a strong woman The doctor reinforced.

      I slowly walked towards the reception desk to get my next appointment date then I seemed to float towards the elevator.

      Is this what shock felt like? I thought to myself.

      It all felt make-believe.

      I began walking; I don’t know where I was going. I just walked, and walked, and walked.

      In no time I was in the downtown shopping area.

      Everyone looked so happy to be shopping for the holidays, and then there was me.

      Just standing right in the middle.

      While shoppers zoomed past me like I wasn’t even there. Just frozen, wondering, would I even be here for the holidays?

      As I glanced up, I smiled when I realized I was standing in front of the wish tree.

      Really? What are the chances? I said to myself as I stared all the way up to the top of this enormous tree.

      Make your wish here. The sign read.

      Hmmm? I wish to experience true love before I go. I mean if I go, either way, go or stay, that’s my wish. I said with my hands clenched together and my eyes closed.

      I slowly opened my eyes as the lights on the tree twinkled.

      Wow, that's a great effect! Maybe it's working on my wish. I said with a giggle as I marveled at the tree.

      I looked around and began walking again.

      What am I doing here? I said unsurely.

      I took a deep breath and hailed a taxi.

      Yeouido Park Centre, I said as I entered the taxi.

      I looked out the window quietly as I rode home.

      It’s funny how life comes into perspective when you get news like this. But like the doctor said I wasn’t handed a death sentence, just a small detour in my life.

      So why was I suddenly feeling total hopelessness? In one second I went from a strong independent woman to orphaned baby bunny in the forest.

      As I arrived home, my roommate Charlie was sitting in the lobby reading.

      What are you doing here? Are you stalking that hot concierge again? I asked with a smile.

      OMG! NO! I forgot my key again and that attendant will not let me in. He acts like he’s never seen me here before. Charlie replied frustrated and pointing at the front desk clerk.

      How long have you been here waiting? I questioned as we walked towards the elevator.

      Oh about an hour, Charlie replied.

      Our attention was drawn to the television in the lobby. We both stopped and looked at the lighting of the wish tree.

      OMG! I was just there. I thought.

      Look it’s your baby, Myeon. He’s about to perform. His angel voice is perfect for this song. Charlie admired.

      Look at him in that grey tweed suit, oh that voice. I swooned.

      We stood there and just watched. Charlie really just watched. I was fangirling internally.

      So where were you coming from? Charlie asked.

      I had a doctors' appointment today, I replied with a cheery tone.

      I hope everything is good with you, Charlie responded.

      All is peachy, I replied with a smile.

      That was all I can really say because I really didn’t know how to tell her the truth.

      "Well I just came to change; I'm going to the
