They are exaggerated statements and therein lays their
usefulness. By juxtaposing anything
against such drastic events, I hope to give "anything" less
importance! Sometimes though, it feels like it
is the end of the world...
Last 2-3 weeks, we have all been concerned for my mom's
health. The concern began on Father's Day and concluded last Thursday. My mom
is going to be fine. Around the same time frame, my friend H's mom, was going
through a health crisis as well. Just found out this morning that H's mom is
not going to make it…
H is 14 hours ahead of me in terms of where she lives.
Even with this time difference, she managed to call me right in the middle of
my crying after I got Hans' CW result. I was alone and in the basement and
totally wallowing in self-pity. H called to tell me to stop crying. It was one
of those incredible moments. She put things in perspective.
Today, I am almost afraid to call her. I don't know what
to say to my friend. However, I will gather the courage to call her.
At least, I want her to know I am here for her. At most,
I want her to know that I have been inspired by her mom's life. H's mom
recently published a book. It was a wonderful testament to the fact that
anything is possible at any age. It made me want to take a flight and visit
with her…I was that inspired!
A life that inspires others truly never ends. It is what
legends are made of. In my mind, H's mom is a legend. She will continue to live
no matter what happens next!
