Yesterday, a close friend of mine had sent me a text that immediately gave me a reality check, it made me realize how any one of us could be gone any minute.
This friend of mine had sent me a text, telling me she was minutes away from going into the operating room at the hospital and was basically just texting me to let me know. She wouldn't say it, but she was indirectly telling me just in case things don't go as planned and she doesn't walk out of that room alive.
This is someone that I've known for years, and getting to hear that from someone that close to me made me scared. It reminded me that although it might feel like we have all the time in the world to do whatever it is we want to do, that isn't really the case.
Unfortunately, she wasn't able to go into the operating room because her blood pressure was high and it had to be postponed to today. She has been posting bible verses on her status all morning and I can feel it from here how scared she is.
She had refused to tell me what was wrong with her; actually, she had said that she would tell me after she came out of the operation. I guess that is her way of being hopeful and I knew not to push any further.
If there's one thing all of this has made me realize, it is that when you look at life like something that could be taken from you any minute, you tend to see things a lot simpler and you tend to care and not care about a lot of things too.
Hopefully I get to write a second part to this blog, telling you guys about how she made it out of the operating room and what exactly they had operated on.
Fingers crossed.
