A Letter to the Bubble Boy

Dear Seth,

You are a very brave boy, and that is what we 1000+ (?) students and staff of Taylor’s College Sri Hartamas, Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia collectively think.

 We simply could not fathom how extraordinary your little spirit is. You represent the best of humanity by having the courage to endure, to persevere, to hope again even after all those sufferings.

Of course on 27th March, many of us showed up in yellow, your favourite colour. Yellow shirts, yellow trousers, yellow jackets. It cheered us up too when we knew this simple gesture can lift your spirits up.


It is quite a good colour, you see, it reminds people of a lot of good things: afternoon sunlight on pavements, sunflowers in full bloom, and even cute little Minions in their “Underwear” song. 



When you need to look at our pictures, do remember this: it is an honour, and privilege to be able to wear yellow for you. It is remarkable to know that superheroes are not just strong, tough men, but little children too. And you are our hero!

Stay brave, little man, and get well soon! Our thoughts and prayers will always be with you and your family.


Love,
Everyone in Taylor’s College Sri Hartamas
