What do we do now? We wait for a miracle.

The words pain, loss, ache and hurt must trigger some kind of memory for you. The kind of memory you tuck deep inside your little heart because remembering them or reliving them takes too much out of you.

Usually one sees nothing and feels nothing beyond the boundaries of his own individual anguish. Sometimes people wish they could die in times like these, not knowing how much they would regret not trying hard enough to live.

What if, one day, the tables are turned on you? Life decides that perhaps you've had enough? The little pulsating organ in your chest, your life source, decides to stop working properly anymore. Doctors tell you that your days are numbered and that you can't engage in the activities you'd usually partake in on a daily basis. The parties stop, you can't walk the dog because it runs too fast, you can't take the plane to travel the world, you can't sleep on your side (the pressure would weaken your heart) and the list goes on. Wouldn't it be too late to cherish what you already have now? Not really, but with an inevitable goodbye on the way, it makes you wonder how long you'd be able to 'live life to the fullest'. What does that mean anyway?

Doctors tell you that maybe, just maybe they can save you. You could get a heart transplant but there is a long waiting list. You could be waiting for up to two years, hearts are hard to come by. Even if you do get a heart, there is a 30% chance of survival, your body may reject it and you might die on the operating table. Or maybe, the heart transplant is a success, but you'd be in a coma anyway (at least for a while). What would you do then? Would you risk the 30% survival chance and live out your numbered days, or would you risk the 70% failure rate and risk dying on the operating table? Noting that you could either live five to seven years without a transplant or die after two years because the operation failed.

Bad things happen all the time, be happy that you're alive and that you have the chance to live. Some people aren't as fortunate as you are.
