We’ll hit South Broadway in a matter of minutes
And like a bad movie, I’ll drop a line
Fall in the grave I’ve been digging myself,
But there’s room for two
Six feet under the stars
my hand in yours,
differences are of no significance
with you by my side,it's fulfillment
nothing else i'd need,your love suffices
the me
level 25 noob
the reason the sun shines
he who walks so the earth can spin
counted to infinity, and square-rooted it

had been very occupied the past few days.adapting to school;rushing to print notes,buy books and stationery,and the daily hospital visits;worrying,reflecting,praying.
woke up just now to good news.Father is going to be discharged.his platelet count was on the rise since yesterday.the whole episode taught me a lot of things i used to deign to even consider.life had been so comfortable,i never thought about how major changes could possibly take that luxury away and about how i will cope then.
i saw the fragility of life.when he was sick,i was initially flooded with thoughts of worry and despair.it was a reality check,i realised he(Mother too) will not always be there for me.have i been taking them for granted? have i shown them how much i appreciated their efforts and sacrifices,how much i care for and love them? how will life be without both/either of them?
i also saw the strength of familial ties.how Mother's heart broke seeing Father lying on a hospital bed on the drip.how Little Sis broke into a high fever for 3 days upon receiving news that Father was ill.how responsible Big Bro was throughout the whole episode.how our extended family and friends took time off their busy schedule to take the trouble to visit and offer kind,comforting words and send their well wishes.
the whole experience had been enlightening and from it,i took lessons of humility and compassion.my heartfelt appreciation to all who have helped lightened the burden of worry throughout in words and deeds.
