It is hard to believe that today my baby sister turned 18. She is a legal adult. That is hard for me to grasp. It seems like just yesterday there were dirty diapers and cribs. I am proud of my little sis and yes she will always be little to me. She is a beautiful young woman who I adore.
As she turns 18 it makes me feel old. Quite old. I am approaching my Mid-20's. Before you know it I will be 30. Scary to think that time can pass us by so quickly.
This all makes me think of life and of the future. Right now one of my closest friends is experiencing the most pain possible. She is sitting at a hospital along side a bed where her mother is in a coma. She has been there since Monday. I could not imagine seeing my mom on life support because she can't breathe on her own and to know that in less than three days they have had to restart her heart a dozen times. It is hard to fathom the pain that my friend and her family are feeling.
My friends mom makes me rethink the fact of being old. I am in my mid-20's. I could possibly have 70 years of life remaining. (Only God knows when I will leave this earth) I guess I need to take each day one at a time and be grateful for the treasure that each new day is, as we are not promised tomorrow. Are you living each one as if it could be your last?
