Another Day another Giveaway Thought
It's sad when you welcome the noisy sounds of your neighbors above you creaking with each step.
I finally have that silence I wished for so many years. But sometimes that silence is deafening.
7 years, I'd been my mom's caregiver and I couldn't remember the last time I gave her a hug. COVID really made her into a big germaphobe.
That itching pain in my chest that was burned by the same flu that took my mom. No matter how hard I hug my pillow, it won't go away.
I regret so hard, not giving her a hug on her final day in the hospital.
I hoped that by staying away, we'd both have a chance to overcome the flu at the same time. With her oxygen levels dropping, she didn't make it to the next morning.
I cried a bit when my friend took me out for a day after my mom passed away. I really appreciated that piece of kindness. I hope someday I can do that same favor for someone else in need. He even offered to let me stay over with him and his wife and kids for the weekend. At the time, I didn't want to trouble him so I turned him down.
Now with my apartment asking for my lease renewal with a price hike, I am finally ready to leave this old apartment behind. Change is always painful. Even if it wasn't their intention, I appreciate that the apartment managers gave me that push to change myself.
Telling that same friend about my wish to move out, he again offered me to stay at his place temporarily until I found a new apartment or room for rent. I am so grateful that his wife was actually the one that suggested this. To her, I'm just some random friend of her husband who begs him to exercise with me so he can be healthier. Can't believe my health-nut tendencies actually built that trust over the years. I mean to me, I'm just greedy in wanting my older friends to live longer and healthier lives. I really hope I can help my good friend with his physical health as much as he's helped me with my mental and emotional health.
Sometimes it's nice to have friends who are the opposite of you.
This game Kraken Academy for all it's crazy antic humor reminded me. Strange friends make the best of friends. So I hope the winner enjoys this.
