And then…
It was less than a second, maybe half a second, but it changed everything. Sometimes I wonder what I did wrong. What did I do that made God change my life so suddenly, so dramatically? Was it because I didn’t appreciate what I had? Was it because I didn’t let others know how much I loved them, instead just kept it all bottled up inside? Why did this happen to me? I had “almost” everything I could possibly ask for: a family, a home, people who love me, food on the table, nice things, my own room; what else could I ask for? Well, now I know that’s what I want. Because now, I don’t have a family – I’m all alone. I don’t have a place to call my own. Now, I don’t have people who love me. I don’t have food on the table, or my own room. Now, I know what I’m missing. Hopefully, one day it will go back to the good days, the ones that only exist in my memory. I wish I could see the ones I love, at least once more.
