Before I start with my rant of the day , I want to stop and thank everyone for being so supportive and amazing, it is such a awesome thing to witness the support and love that bloggers and writers show towards one another. Thank you all:)
Now, This probably will not be like my normal postings because this is more of a one sided opinion rather than facts, if you can just bare with me. Most of my readers already know that my mother has Multiple Sclerosis that she was diagnosed with around 21 years ago (yes when she was pregnant with yours truly). She has went from being a healthy up and waking nurse to a cane , walker then to a scooter and now she is mainly in a wheelchair or bed-bound as some would say, I don't personally agree with that statement because I never want her life to only amount to what lies between the four walls that she is surrounded by. My mother and I hardly ever see eye to eye this I can admit but even after everything we have went through she is still one of the most important people in my life. Multiple Sclerosis is a disease that is not noticed as much as I believe that is should be in the United States. I have watched my mother get weaker and weaker over the years, I have watched her movement in her arms and hands subside, I have watched my mother lose a lot of things in life; however, one thing I have never witnessed was her losing her love of life. My mother is the single most stubborn headed woman I have ever met, she is honestly an inspiration.
Here recently we found out that she may possibly have Cancer as well (we are still waiting on the biopsy) and although I have seen her struggle so much with her M.S. , I'm not sure if she can continue to fight against both of these horrible diseases anymore. I had the discussion with my mother today of her future funeral arrangements and ect. This is a discussion I would rather lose my arm than have. My mother who is not even 50 years old should not be worried of her possible impending death at this age , she should be enjoying her time dating , or even face-down in a good book. It breaks my heart to see her go through this and it has broke my heart for 21 years. I will never let her fight this battle alone, and regardless of what she believes we WILL get through this together.
It is kind of crazy how fast our worlds can be affected from one second to the other, nothing ever stays the same expect for the fact that everything changes. Loved ones can be lost, friendships can be ruined and our lives can crumble all in a blink of an eye. Happiness and sadness are both temporary feelings, and both will soon fade. Life is not a straight line like they told us in middle school history class , with a beginning and a end. Life is not a time-line , life is a never ending circle of birth and death, excitement and fear, happiness and sadness. Life is beautifully amazing, and extremely difficult to understand.
Every single person is either struggling or overcoming something in their life. The person you bump into on the sidewalk, the girl on the subway or maybe even the older gentleman you seen eating alone earlier today.
So many people in this world feel so alone, as if they are fighting their demon's all by themselves.
I am here to personally tell you that I don't care what it is that you're going through, Sickness, Self-harming, Abuse, Divorce, Drug dependence, Heart-break, Bullying, Depression Financial Issues, Anxiety, Loneliness. I am here, and you will NEVER stand alone. Instead of kicking each-other while we are down, we should be re-building one another. We all are just human beings, not one who is perfect but together we could be close enough. We should be more concerned with the well-being of one another rather than worried about the newest phones, having the bigger home, or nicest car. In the end we can't take those to our grave's anyway, and people will not remember you for your material items but they will ALWAYS remember you for your heart. So I urge every one of my readers who I have touched to continue to pay forward. The homeless man that you pass everyday, actually stop and hear his story today and help if you can, and if you think you can't then you already have just by listening. The single-mother you see struggling to carry groceries in with her toddler in her other arm, stop and help her too. Maybe even the older woman at the coffee shop. Rushing around day to day is NOT living life, take time to stop and talk, set time aside to LISTEN to people.. strangers or not. All that anyone need's is to know that they are cared about and if helping in any other way is impossible just listen, Every person has a story that needs to be heard, you will not only be helping them out but maybe even yourself as well. Lets restore our faith in humanity together, one step at a time.
No matter what you're going through right now, this will pass and we WILL get through this together.
