I just came back from Tung Shin hospital. The doctor said that Cornor’s condition is critical. His cancer spread to his lungs and he has difficulty in breathing. The doctor also said that he has 3 more days to live and we are praying for miracle.
As I was reflecting back about him, I saw his smiling face. Within his thin frame, he got the THREE “S” – steady, still and strong. He is persistent and a determined man. He is really strong man at heart and full of God’s spirit because he is always serving and caring. Always adding sugar to people’s life! Cornor is truly a man of God. :)
I met Cornor last year. Before I even knew him, I heard of his name in our Church. Cornor is an easy name to remember. I knew about him even more when Calvin spoke a lot about him, they seem to be very close. At that time Calvin and I were still friends.
On 7.7.7, I attended my friend’s wedding, and that was the first time I met Cornor Wong. He is a quiet and friendly person. I heard so much about him, how much he cares for his cell group and giving his life and heart to the Lord to serve the cell group.
Last March 2008, we found out that he was diagnosed with lymph node cancer. He went for his treatment for the past few months. After that he looks so healthy and cheerful. I can never forget his smiling face when I see him in church. Often I see and I hear how he is always everywhere when help is needed. Looking back, he even came to paint Calvin’s house, in his health condition.
He really impressed us; everyone is talking about how he took cab for his entire trips to hospital. Until last Sunday, Calvin received a sms from Cornor saying that, “I can’t breath, I will faint.” Then, Kelvin Yong went off to see Cornor in his house, and arranged the ambulance to take Cornor.
We visited him on Monday, 26th August 2008. At that time he still speaks a word or two. He was breathing very loudly and we were told he is infected with pneumonia. Today, he doesn’t really speak but he writes to communicate with us. He can’t really speak because of difficulty in breathing. In fact, his cancer has spread to his lungs.
Many of our church friends visited him at hospital. They sang praises to the Lord for his goodness and blessings. We are indeed thankful to have Cornor.
Thought I only know him for that one year and barely know him personally but the lil’ touch of Cornor has left a deep memory in my heart. His life, an aroma to many people.
Cornor, we love you! See you in Church!
