Ever wondered what life would be like if we didn't have any of the things we wanted? i mean having nothing at all... it would be so sad and depressing. Of course man's needs are insatiable and as he gets one he longs for more. But have we truly stopped to take a deep breath, and enjoy the wonders and good things that abound? Believe me, all the best things in life are free.. Like the air we breath, the sun, the green of the grass, but to mention a few.
Last night i received a call . I was happy for i had just started work and i was doing well. I couldn't hold my tongue but had to share it with everybody. The moment her call came, all i could talk about was my new job and how nice my bosses were. I kept going on and then noticed her voice didn't have the ring of excitement it would ordinarily have. That's when i asked her if all was okay with her and if she had found herself job. She then asked me if i honestly wanted to know how she was doing. and i said yes. ''I have a growth and this time it is big'' she said. I froze and i didn't know what to say. When my friend told me she was ill, possibly a terminal illness. I was surprised for she was just recovering from one operation where a cyst was removed from her intestines. I didn't know what to say to her. I just held my breath and wished it all to go away. Somewhere i hoped she'd just say it was a joke or maybe awake from my sleep. But no, this was no dream. This was actually happening. She then tried to console and told me all was well.
Sounding uppity she said: I AM HAPPY TO BE ALIVE.
