The Pain Of Growing Up
At my age, I have come to realize that as I grow older, the pain of seeing one’s loved ones go hurts like a dagger striking through me.
I figure a young kid is very lucky. All that kid can think of is have fun, enjoy life and study hard. Once you graduate you think about your future, start a family and help others close to you.
I have seen my great grandmother and grandfather from my father’s side and both my grand parents from my mother’s side pass away and those times really made me sad. But I know it will hurt even more so now that I am in a way old myself that I value my parents and my grand mother from my father’s side even more.
My grandmother is I think 92 now and she was just released from the hospital from a surgery. My mom tells me she keeps crying every day because she feels lonely even though my mom keeps on keeping her company.
I am working in another city and I decided that next week I will go home for a few days to visit her and keep her company. It is what I always do whenever I go home twice a year the past few years. Go home, spend time with my family and grand mother and just be with them.
I know every second will be valuable to my grand mother. I always try to cheer her up and keep her spirits high telling her to stay strong because I will visit her again.
People have done sacrifices in their lives. My grandmother’s life was not easy. She endured many sacrifices and painful memories that just listening to her stories over and over again makes me realize how much I am with my life.
If only there was some way to go back to the past and make her life the way it should be. But at least I have done the most important thing that one needs to do for their love ones. Tell them how much you love them.
It is pretty easy to say that to your girlfriend or wife, right? But have you said that to your parents of grandparents? If you have done so, great! If not, do it now! Regret is one of the most painful things that will haunt people for the rest of their lives.
