It Can be Worst
I had coffee with a good friend; we caught up with each other's news. He is suffering from a rare kind of leukemia; the chances of surviving are good. He is pale and constantly tired; he is glad to be alive and does not require any sophisticated treatments.
A trip to the cancer ward would make you appreciate the uncertainty of life. He told me that things can be worst. He is lucky that the sickness is a wake up call to appreciate life. Now he is living life in his own terms. Nothing is more important than health.
This is not the first time I am hearing such stories. While I am still fuming over my loss. He is right that my loss is not the end of the world. I can make back the money, but health is something that takes time. Whatever challenges that we face now, there is no immediate solution. All successes take time, so we need to be patient.
I am grateful that someone cares and still have my health. After all, it can be worst.
