Temporary Home- Death

Its scary isn't it? when someone you love gets hurt or goes to hospital you begin to think the worst. Everything starts rushing past you at the speed of light, as if your whole world has come crashing down, stopped and yet everyone else continues on as if nothing has happened as if nothing is wrong. You feel lost, confused and disconnected from reality. Your thoughts are based on the memories you have had with the person, the good and the bad times and you wonder what you will do without them. You are full of regret, ifs and buts, and you start to make promises to yourself that if the person makes it through you will be better, nicer, visit more often, look after them and more. You put yourself through hell never realizing how much you needed, cared, appreciated, cared for and even loved the person until that moment when you feel like you have lost them. Sometimes we are lucky and a second chance arises as the person pulls through and sometimes they just don't make it. Some people try to find someone to blame, to be angry at but its useless because anything you do wont get that person back. Sometimes we just have to move on, life comes and goes and it always will, there is no avoiding it but the best thing we can do is live with no regrets and just make life the best it can be. Everything that happens and how we cope makes us who we are and all we can be in life is ourselves. To quote a song
"This is my Temporary Home
It's not where I belong.
Windows and rooms that I'm passing through.
This was just a stop,on the way to where I'm going.
I'm not afraid because I know... this was
My temporary home."
The Earth is our temporary home. we wont be here for ever as that was never part of the deal but at least we can enjoy the time we do have and make the best of it.
