Apology - comprises of 3 little words when uttered usually brings comfort and healing to open wounds.

How well does the wounded heart heal? The physical anatomy of the human heart is amazingly resilient - pumping over 130 bpm during cardiovascular exercises. Yet, it is extremely delicate and fragile. Some will heal in time but the scars remain and some may never heal. Like a beautiful vase, once broken and mended will never be the same again. All the super adhesives in the world cannot mend a repeatedly broken vase.

A text came from 11,000kms away on a bright and early Wednesday morn. After 5 months of recuperation, the last knock came and the vase is broken for the very last time.
Apologies are the very essence of recuperation but like all healing elixirs, it loses its potency once over-abused. Hence, the final draw comes in the form of inoculation and quarantine of the infectious agent.

Once again, the vase is now in safe hands... and will return to its prior glorious state.
