OUR EVERYDAY THINGS

It has been more than 3 hours and we are still waiting. Being here, seeing patients get rolled in to the operating theaters, some accompanied by family members, some have none. Once they are inside, their lives lie in the hands of these surgeons. Isn't life so fragile? One moment we can all be well and the next who knows what might happen. All of us should really treasure what we have but its human nature to take things for granted and to not be contented with our present situation. And when we come to the point of realization, isn't it abit too late already? Every 5-10 mins, the doors of the operating theatre will open and family members scurry to look at whether the patient being rolled out is their loved one. Most at the waiting area wear a worried look on their faces as we all continue to wait. It's ironic how we can take charge over our lives when it comes to certain things yet be so vulnerable when it comes to situations as such. We see people displaying their weakest forms at times like this. 

Last enquiry response at 10.55am: Operation still in progress. 
I have faith that everything will be ok.
