The supposed 3 week stress free happy and enjoyable much looked forward to trip to India turned out in the least expected most stressful 5 day life altering experience. When i took the plane. i told myself that as much as i was going to miss my other half, i was going to have a wonderful time away from work and family committments….. boy was i so wrong…
A harmless running nose which then came non stop was the threshold of the whole scenario. Citrezine… (a supposedly effective flu tablet)my own custom made poison which i bought off the pharmacist altered my life forever. Endless dosages of ventolin did nothing to stop my wheezing. I wheezed and wheezed more. Never in my life was i so scared or so demoralized. I prayed to God to let him spend a bit more time with my dearest before He called me back to be with Him. Then again a few hours later, i was prepared to go. I did not harbour any hope of seeing my family or friends anymore. In the wee hours of the morning when i sat and rocked myself for comfort, i realised that i started thinking about how far life had brought me. I thought about the children whom Allah had blessed my life with and each anf every lesson they had taught me. I prayed for the happiness, health and safetly for my loved ones and told myself that i was grateful for the beautiful times i had.
As i lay drowsy, weak and sick on the hospital bed, i then realised how high we can go at one point of our life and how low we could hit. Uncertainity…my biggest nightmare was happening right in front of my eyes and there i was unable to be in control of the situation.
It was then that i was realised how short life was and that the next minute was never a definite one. It was then that i realised how little time i had to bring joy and happiness into the hearts of our loved ones. It was then that i realised that there was no time for greed, envy, jealousy and hurt……..
