Standing Still

Life's on hold.  Most days I'm on some kind of automatic pilot.  Just getting through each day and doing my best not to think too much about tomorrow.  I hope tomorrow never comes.  I know really that it will.  Dad's cancer has progressed.  My sister and I spend our days doing what we can to be with our parents; to help wherever we can.  And you know what?  It's an honour and a privelege.  No matter how tired I am; no matter how drained I feel, every day that I'm with my parents, I consider to be a privelege.  They gave me life.  A good childhood.  Wisdom.  Love.  And many good values, morals and so much more.

Helping my Dad and my Mum get through this horrible time is the very least I can do.

One day, I will pick up the pieces of my life and carry on.  Right now, I'm standing still in a place where I'm needed most.
