I looked at mom, and saw how weak she was.
But too scared was I to stretch out a hand to offer her comfort or support.
What exactly was stopping me, a fear or embarrassment? It sounds insane to be embarrassed in front of a person you have puked on, cried on, fed off, slept on and hugged to sleep even when you look like shit.
I have learnt, through the many years of torn relationships and ditching, that ultimately you walk this world alone. But that calls no need for a surge of sadness to flow. Because everyone goes through the same thing; that - common emptiness is something that fosters a bond among all us all.
Everyone dies.
Some have parents who die young. Some have parents who live till they are a ripe old age.
I guess it's a matter of time when mine will go; I'm just praying it ain't too soon.
The crosses we bear are all different and unique. I guess no one will ever understand them.
But why would we need someone to understand them? To feed our insecurity?
We live alone, and the greatest testimony of faith is when we carry them,
without complaint and without grudge.
What a beautiful depiction of the human spirit.
Because it is through suffering that the strength of the human spirit is resonated.
