Ever felt like you were the proverbial fish in a bucket and someone was leaning over it with a shotgun? Well, the last 24 hours are just like that for me.
Yesterday my friend collapsed and was rushed to hospital, and this morning I got a text saying she was going in for surgery, time to activate the BFF hotline. As I excused myself from a school tea morning I told another friend that I was leaving and why, and she then informed me that she is just about to start chemo as she has cancer in her cervix.
I stood there for a minute, tears filling my eyes and wondered what was it with the universe that was allowing the cancer fairy to visit those so close to me, so quickly and with such lethal efficiency?
So, I am, today, going to have my last cigarette, I am going to work my butt off to be there for everyone who needs me and, somewhere in there, I am going to remind myself at every opportunity to tell those that I love just how much they mean to me.
And again, Dear God, enough already!...... I only have enough hours in the day to just cope as it is, I can't spread myself any thinner.
Hmmmmm
