yesterday i came to know about a spine chilling tragic death of a 30 year old guy from work who is survived by a wife and child.
was very low thinking about how his and his family's hope and dream have been brutally crashed and how the hope of another day has been snatched not only from him, his family too !!
that's when i thought to myself, a double income family is vital for we middle class people.
person's presence can never be replaced but his responsibility can be if the woman is financially independent.
it brought back my childhood memories, when i would act like a monkey when ma would make me sit to study, jumping from the sofa to the chair to the table to the bed and ma would sometimes run behind me rarely cajoling, mostly yelling and sometimes hysterically telling me to study so that tomorrow i stand on my two feet and i would just not understand that why cant ma see the brilliant display of my antiques with two feet !!
but today i thank her for ensuring i stand on my two feet ! of course now i want to fly now that i know how to stand..
guess leaving things for tomorrow after all is not such a bright idea...
will try to laugh out loud, get drenched in rains, whistle at a himbo (thats a new term i learned ), smile at a stranger, buy the watch i have been dreaming .. hey gotta remove that from the list already did it !!!
but yes am living for today.... tomorrow is a distant dream and yesterday is in smoke..... gone..... today ... how good do i make you ?
amen to that.. have seen too many deaths as a doctor.. no matter how many times you witness it, you can never get used to seeing someone's pain.. and remembering your own loved ones at that time
ReplyDeletei understand and hats off to all you docs who keep their personal fears and pains aside to take care of rest of us ...
