Too Close to Home
Sometimes, I forget how fortunate I am.
From loved ones to health, from education to career.
Scores to be thankful for but all my myopic eyes can focus on is areas where I perceive I'm being dealt the short end of the stick.
A friend's mum has been diagnosed with cancer, which is rearing its ugly head once again. She has to face the possibility of losing her mum to the disease...a life without her mum.
That has hit a little too close to home. While my parents have yet to face any major illness, I can't imagine the day when they do. When I lose them.
With age catching up on them faster than I last recalled, it reminds me that there's so much more I want to do for them, after all that they have given to me -- unconditional love, unfailing support and limitless opportunities.
Time, please slow down.
