Leukaemia

Yumiko and Xianghua Yen - 8th July 1949

It was 4 years later now, and the twins had grown into beautiful young women but there was one major problem.Yumiko had developed Leukaemia.

Xianghua peered down at her sister. Xianghua's face was overcome with sadness - her sister's with pain. Yumiko lay in a hospital bed. She was skinny, white and frail. Yumiko was terminally ill with a disease a lot of people were dying from as a result from the bomb blast.

Xianghua stood sobbing with her family. Yumiko had been battling leukaemia for a long time now and the pain was too great she had to say good bye now, she had to.
