There was this man sitting all by himself close to a small roadside coffee shop. There was din all around him - loud honking of many vehicles, hawkers walking past him - and he could hear nothing. Nothing mattered to him, his chin was down and he barely even looked up.
His eyes were empty. The doctors had just told him that his young daughter had some kind of cancer of the bones. She did not even have 6 months to live. Here was a desolate father whose young 14 year old would cease to be in a few months. The load was heavy on his broad shoulders!
I saw him get up. He dusted his trouser, smiled to himself and started walking! He looked around and saw the park full of children.
It sometimes is very difficult being a doctor!
