12/17/10: We have no idea.
We have no idea what we have till it's taken away. We have no idea how lucky we are until the luck runs out. We have no idea how fast time passes until it's too late. We have no idea who cares for us until we lose them.

Today I went to the hospital to visit a patient who was diagnosed with cancer and just got out of surgery. When I stepped into that narrow hallway leading into a small room and looked at the little withered man laying on the bed, I was speechless. I don't know if it was the wires and needles attacked to him, or the pile stick and bones. I wanted to slap myself in the face. I hated myself. Just five minutes ago I was complaining about not being able to go to the mall.

Honestly we are fortunate. We have people who love us, even though sometimes we feel like we don't. We don't have to worry if we're going to see another day. We always focus on the negative that we don't realize that there's a million things that we take for granted every..... single..... day. So tonight before you go to sleep, stop yourself and appreciate everything we have. Thank You.
