Words

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.’
