It never seems like we have enough time. In the article "The Hospital Visit", the author Catherine O. knows the precious value of time. So many people take their time for granted. If u were to die tomorrow, would you rethink how you'd spend today? Where you'd go? Who you'd visit? Well that's the problem. Most of us don't know the future, so we can't fix the present accordingly.
Recently I've had an experience with wasted time and hospitals. My grandma always made the efforts to call me and keep in touch. Although I loved her, I never really gave her the time of day. Only concerned with myself, I got caught up with other things instead of spending time with her.
And then the news came. My grandma had to be shipped to the hospital for multiple surgeries dealing with things I didn't really understand. Although the surgeries weren't too major, I still felt an overwhelming feeling inside when I saw her in that lumpy hospital bed. She's always been fairly strong, and practically able to do anything. But now, she appeared helpless. It brought me back to reality. It helped remind me of the importance of spending my time wisely. And not letting it slip away with myself or anyone else.
Have you ever heard the quote "live your life to the fullest"? Well its nothing to take lightly. I know this now, and plan on getting every bit I can out of the time I have on this earth. Will you?
