Watching a loved one age.
<p>So… I've got something on my mind. Let's chat.</p><p><br/></p><p>When did we collectively decide to just watch our loved ones, especially our parents age while we do nothing to stop it?</p><p><br/></p><p>I believe that's real emotional torture especially when you're not exactly where you want to be yet.</p><p><br/></p><p>I mean, what do you mean they're no longer young? No longer as strong and energetic as they used to be when we were 3?</p><p><br/></p><p>If I could hold back time just for one reason, it'll be to have my loved ones with me forever. I hope that's not too selfish.</p><p><br/></p><p>They're getting older and it hurts to think that one day, they won't be here anymore. One day, their memories will fade and roles will be reversed.</p><p><br/></p><p>Don't get me wrong, aging is a gift from God but then could we ask for them to be immortal instead?</p><p><br/></p><p>How I wish time stops or reverses.</p><p><br/></p><p>My mind drifts back to the times she asked me to pluck the grey strands on her head and chin. She'd ask me how many there were. </p><p><br/></p><p>Sigh…</p><p><br/></p><p>Time is cruel and aging is a “blessing” but no one talks about the costs. </p><p><br/></p><p>What happens when they're no longer here? It's sad to know that one day; oh how I dread that day, they'll be only in my memory.</p><p><br/></p>
