Life Is Hard, Get Over it! |

My life experience is short, but, I've learned a lot along the way. As the only child to a single mother, an immigrant from the Azores of Portugal, I haven't always had it as easy as some of my friends. In fact, I've had to work darn hard for all I get.
I worked to earn the money to buy my own dream truck, and have been building it into the beast it is, for almost four years now. Every dime it has required, I earned myself! My parents are loving and supportive, but only recently separated and filed for divorce. Nothing is harder than being the only child of parents who each love and support me, but who don't speak to each other well. So, I've learned to be very diplomatic, very early in life. If that's not enough, I watched as a boy when first my grandfather, then grandmother behind him, each passed away as result of cancer, one year apart. It's hard to watch those you love die, but it's harder yet to endure it when you're just a young boy.
I've always feared death for all it's taken from me, and felt it could take no more till one day just months ago now, one more time it touched my life when in his sleep, my only uncle died of a massive heart attack at the tender age of just 45.
I don't know what it is I'm supposed to be learning from all this if it isn't the fact that life is hard....but, if the lesson still awaits me in the future I couldn't imagine what it might be until this morning I woke up with tooth pain and swelling in my jaw line and face, only to find out an abscess was threatening my health Which by the way I have no insurance for now that I've grown up only to find out yet once more...life is really hard. It certainly doesn't pay to be on your own for the first time in your life, which I did only a month ago now.
I can't help but wonder what comes next, but one thing I do know. I'm sure it will challenge me! So for all those out there with hard lives...remember, that's just the way it is. So...get over it, and God bless. |
