Do you believe in Superhero?
I believe everyone has one superhero he or she admire the most in their life. We often wish that we have super power like them so that we can archive a lot of things we want to do in life easier.
However, we know that superhero does not exist in real life and we will never have the super power. It's a cruel but true statement that all of us should accept.
------Wait a minute! Superheroes do exist! Just not that you know off-------

This is a story about Alicia.
Alicia was a single mother who was taking care of 3 children. Her husband passed away three years ago and left nothing to her. She had to work day and night to earn for living.
Life still goes on without her husband. But there was one thing she insisted.
Every year, she would meet with an uncle and passed some money to him.
Her eldest son always asked her who was that uncle. She told her son that uncle was an angel without wings.
Her eldest son was not satisfied with the answer. When he was young, he always thought that this uncle was bad because their family can live a better life if his mummy save the money instead of giving it to the uncle. He talked to his mother about this but his mum just ignored him and told him he would understand when he grew older.
When he was in his Standard One, he found that his mother always felt dizzy at night after work. His mother did not go for checkup because she had no time for it.
One day when he was studying, his teacher asked him to pick up an urgent call from his mother.
His mother was in critical stage and needed amount of money urgently for surgery because she couldn’t afford to wait for the long queue in public hospital.
His mother was unconscious at the moment and he had no way to get the money as his relatives had kept distance with them since long time ago.
He had no choice but to call the uncle whom always asked money from them every year. He hoped that this uncle might help him since his mother had been helping him for so many years continuously.
Uncle
“Hello Alicia, how are you?”
Alicia's Son
“Hi uncle, I am Alicia’s son, my mother is diagnosed as having breast cancer critical stage now. She is unconscious and need money to do surgery but I have no money. Can you help? Please save my mother. My father is gone. I don’t want to lose my mother. “
Uncle
“Hi, please calm down. May I know where you are now? I will come over.”
I waited him for so long time. I thought he just want to ease me out on phone and won’t appear but eventually he came.
He came with a paper and my mum had been transferred immediately to private hospital for the surgery. He told me not to worry about the medical bill and other fees. It was very touching and warm when I heard of that.
However, my mum did not wake up after the surgery. She left us.
After so many years, I realized that the uncle is actually an insurance agent who insisted my mother to have a medical card and insurance policy for many years. Finally I knew why he is an angel without wings.
Now, I am also an angel to many people.
