Realize

18Mar10

Sometimes it takes a lot to make you realize how much someone means to you and how dear they are to you. Even just one thing can change such a big part of you. These past few days, I’ve been trying so hard not to be angry at God and to be accepting of what’s happening back home in Toronto. I’ve shed many tears, but all I can do right now is pray. Pray for comfort and peace for my family and pray that I can be accepting of what God is doing. It’s something like this that makes me really cherish every moment that I have with my grandpa and my family and my friends. I’m trying to remain optimistic and to be accepting, but it’s hard trying to stay strong through all of this, knowing that anything could happen at any time.

I’m so thankful that I have brothers and sisters to go to in times like this and have them pray for me and for my family. I’m so grateful that they’ll listen to me at such late hours and give me comfort knowing that I have the support that I need.

The next few days, weeks will be hard to get through since all I want to do is go home and visit my grandpa and family. I want to see him again before his health becomes even worse and before it gets to the point where he might not recognize me anymore. Really cherish every moment you spend with your family and friends and make the best out of everything. It’s sad that I’m only really learning this now, but it’s definitely something important to learn now rather than later.
