Words. Harsh, to the point of being cruel. Spoken
in a callous manner. Words that made me
sad earlier today. Sad enough to cry and contemplate how miserable I feel and
how difficult things have been for me since October 2012, if not earlier. Sad enough
to make me relive the horrid ambulance ride to the hospital, with my mom
talking incoherently, Anita aunty saying soothing words to her, the driver
going at a break neck speed, and I thinking to myself, ‘unfortunately, now I’ll
never wonder what relatives of the patient go through while being in an ambulance.’
