A Terminally-Ill Man's Last Birthday Alive

[@OGS.Official]

We’d like to thank Mr Mani for trusting our team and allowing us to document his journey thus far. In our time with him, we’ve come to witness the extraordinary strength, love and care he shows to everyone around him, even at his lowest moments. During filming, he shared with us that his wish of going to Universal Studios was actually for his daughter, and he was simply very excited to spend time with his family outside of the nursing home, just like they used to. It’s been a really powerful experience for us to have these conversations with him, and we’re glad that we could help capture his special day out with his family 🙂 It’s Mr Mani’s 49th birthday today on the 1st of May. If you’d like, do share your wishes for him in the comments, and we’d be sure to share it with him! - Yu En (OGS Producer)

This is why wanting to commit suicide or saying things like "omg life is pain i just want it to end" isn't cool or edgy. Somehow nowadays ppl like to glorify depression and killing themselves so they seem cool or quirky. It's not. It's devastating to the ones who actually care for you. And you're just taking the easy way out.

It makes me appreciate my situation more and more as I was still given an opportunity to carry on. I had to go through 2 surgeries, an orchiectomy and a L-RPLND , and 3 round of BEP chemotherapy. Every moment I spent in the ward, I saw uncles crying in pain, their wives and children by their side. It really made me open my eyes. I am lucky enough to be have been 23 going through all this as my body is able to recover smooth through all this. Could never imagine the elderly's pain. Please appreciate every moment you have in life. Remember that there's always someone who might be praying to be in your shoes as it would be better for them. Remain strong and reach out to someone if you ever need it. From what I have learnt, even strangers walking past you might be willing to give you a listening ear.

It is tough to fight a sickness when you're hurting. But please stay strong, and in your darkest moments, think of your family. And even when you feel that all hope is lost, I want to tell you that it is not. Even if you are gone, you live in your wife and your daughter's heart forever. May God give you the strength to overcome whatever challenges you will face, and you will meet your family again, be it on Earth or in what comes after that.

[@imandylaush]

idk should i say this but, I used to take care of him back when he was still in Khoo Teck Puat Hospital since i started working as an Agency Nurse 2 years back. When I first report for my first duty, he was sitting on his bed crying and even though I was feeling awkward, I took a tissue for him and sat and talk to him and soon we became closer with each other where I have helped him with his daily tasks and even basic care such as showering and changing of his diapers. I still remember him till today and after seeing this video being posted, it brings back so much memories I had with him that allows me to continue doing what I love doing since few years back. I remember all the laughs and jokes we had and he was always understanding and patience when knowing I had to take care of other 11 patients. To Mr Mani, you might not remember me but I really wish the best for you and your health and thank you for this opportunity to have cared for you during your difficult periods.

So, if you can hear me, Mr Mani, Happy 50th birthday and may you find peace and joy every day. As someone who is only 2 years younger than him and with considerable personal and professional experiences interacting with chronically and terminally ill patients, I was able to relate to him at so many levels. Indeed, the difference in his successful world before he was ill and his current one is extraordinary and poignant. In one frame, we see photos of a healthy him in exotic and glamourous locations and in another, he is bedridden and depends on full time caregivers for all his essential needs. His story and struggles are powerful reminders to us not to lose sight of the things which truly (and eventually) matter - good health, family and loved ones.

I know how it feels. My late dad passed away to 4th stage of Prostate Cancer in 2016. By then it was too late. We found out when it's already at the last stage. He suffered for 2 to 3 years (2013/2014 - 2016).. I hope his wife and his daughter will be strong and remember all the good times they had together with him. That is more important..

The daughter is such a sweetheart. Mr. Mani has a very good heart and much love for his family.

Thankful that this video showed up when I am most stressed out. I am worried about picking the wrong major that will ruin my life, but from what i can see, that is really just living through life. There is nothing more stressful than knowing you are entering the last phase of your life. Thank you Mr. Mani for reminding me what is important. Thank you for slowing me down in the world of chaos and hurdle. Happy Birthday.

Happiest birthday, Mr Mani. People die every day, but knowing that you don't have much time must be the worst!!! I wish you peace and so much power to your amazing family!!

This was a tough watch but also a reminder of how precious life is. Appreciate each and every moment with loved ones. May this man enjoy his remaining days to the fullest ❤.

[@AliceAgatha]

Thank you very much Mr. Mani ❤ You have encouraged so many people. I sincerely wish less pain for you each day

[@Abraham-uk4xy]

I hope he can fight to pull through. He deserves a second chance. From the video you can tell he is a honest straightforward and decent bloke. Happy birthday sir

He wishes simple things which we always take for granted... health is priceless

[@downsouth4345]

Such a kind soul, I wish you and your family the best. God speed MR. MANI...

This hit too close to home. My dad passed 2 years back after battling cancer for a few weeks, and 2 weeks after my wedding. There's so many things that I want to say to him but there is no chance anymore. How I wished he could look at my house after renovation, how he would play with my little girl, how he will bug my mom when am I reaching home with the little one, and the grin on his face when he sees her. Miss him so much but I am glad Mr Mani got to spend time with his family. Thanks for the video

[@Vteckickinyo]

Hang on there, Mr Mani. Miracle will be happen! ❤️

[@uranobich4011]

Does somebody know anything abt Mr. Mani like how is he now????

[@deigozeus]

I'm glad he has a family that can go through the toughest moments of his life. A lot of people don't have anyone and die alone. It truly is a blessing to have his family around him.

My aunt is suffering from colon cancer and is terminally ill. She’s in her mid-50s and the doctors said she would have 3-6 months left. It’s been 2 months already. When she found out the news of her illness, she found it hard to accept. “I don’t wanna die yet. I still have things I want to do, I don’t want my life to be over,” she said in tears. She has three children, the youngest being 16. As of now, she’s spending her remaining days in our hometown. She told my mom to take care of my kids once she passes away, and told my uncle to stop drinking and smoking so much, though my uncle never listened. My aunt has been really brave, still smiling despite the pain. Our family will probably never spend Christmas again with her this year, or her birthday which is still later in the year. It’s been devastating and hard. I’m currently far away from her because I’m studying abroad. I wish I could be there with her, she’s so nice and kind, always checking up on whether I’ve eaten my meals or whether I got home safely. I plan to return soon, and I really hope I could see her smile in-person at least one more time. Thank you for sharing your story, you are so brave. I wish you and your family all the best. ❤️

I pray she stays past this Christmas

[@aronvince6112]

how's your aunt?

[@Hanyunaa22]

@@aronvince6112 Not well. She’s lost so much weight and can hardly move. She has no appetite anymore and she looks really emaciated. She’s still fully conscious, however. She still smiles and laughs, and can still express emotions.

@@Hanyunaa22I'm so sorry I lost my auntie in 2019 because of colon cancer and we got told she only has 2 weeks to live we did everything we could to make her happy and we spent the last days with her non stop

[@Hanyunaa22]

@@EzmeAguilar Aww I’m sorry for your loss. My aunt just passed away last Sunday. It’s been a period of grieving for all of us but we’ll be fine, I know it 🙏🏻
