I posted about Isaac Yoo on Facebook again today.
I posted about it last time more than 2 years ago.
On 27 February 2010, I posted:
"Issac Yoo, I don't know you and you don't know me. But, don't know why, I dropped tear for you."
7 hours later, I posted again:
"尤公子,虽然我们都不认识对方,但"尤公子"这三个字,我会记在心中。"
So, who is Isaac Yoo?
Just as I posted, I don't know him. He is just a friend of my friend, a person I respect.
He was born in year 1991. 12 years after he comes to this world, his journey of fighting against illness started. He was diagnosed with Carcinoma (骨癌). He is still so young but he needs to face such a big challenge in his life. Try to think back. What are you doing in the age of 12. Most of us are still playing around, but Isaac was fighting with illness.
Fortunately, he was cured in Singapore. However, due to all the treatment, he couldn't walk smoothly.
It's fortunate that he was cured. But his luck wasn't last for long time. In year 2009, when he was only 18 years old, he was diagnosed with Leukemia (血癌). He continued to fight.
When he was going to has his Hematopoietic Stem Cell Transplantation (I hope the term I used is correct), he was diagnosed with Lung Cancer.
He was attacked by illness one after one. He continued his fighting. Unfortunately, the world lost a guy name Isaac Yoo on 17 January 2010. He left all of us.
Although he was so unlucky, he never blame anyone. He continued living positively and happily.
Not only that...
He used his final period of his life to cheer up everyone around him. He gave a lot of encouragement to other patients. He care about all the people around him. He even hoped that his mum will not always visit him. He rather wish to see his mum travel around to enjoy her life. And that's why he don't like to stay in hospital. He didn't want to trouble his mum. He is really a great son, right?
And, do you know what's his final wish before he left?
He wished that all people around him will not feel too sad after he left them.
He is a very great guy, right? It's really sad to see such a great person leaving our world. That's really a loss to our world.
ISAAC YOO, YOU ARE A PERSON I RESPECT!
