300: FRAGILE LIFE

ARIEL’S POV

I sat down on one of the benches in the hospital waiting area, and I took a deep breath, trying to calm my nerves. Pulling out my phone, I decided to distract myself by scrolling through some videos on social media.

After a few minutes, I remembered Janice and decided to give her a call. I dialed her number, but she didn’t pick up. Chuckling softly to myself, I knew she was probably still fast asleep. Janice always loved her beauty sleep.

As I was about to put my phone away, I noticed a lady, older than me, sitting on the bench. nearby. Tears filled her eyes, and her hands trembled slightly as she clutched a tissue.

Concerned, I moved closer to her. “Excuse me, ma’am, is everything okay?”

The woman looked up at me, her eyes red and puffy from crying. “No, everything’s not okay, * she replied, her voice trembling. “My husband had a heart attack. He’s in critical condition.

My heart sank as I listened to her words, and I reached out to place a comforting hand on her shoulder. “I’m so sorry to hear that. Is there anything I can do to help?”

She shook her head, tears streaming down her face. “I don’t know… I just… I don’t know

what to do.”

I squeezed her shoulder gently, offering whatever comfort I could. “It’s going to be okay. The doctors here are experts, and they’ll do everything they can to help your husband.”

She nodded, wiping away her tears with the tissue. “Thank you,” she whispered, her voice barely audible.

Feeling a pang of empathy for the woman, I sat with her for a while, offering silent support as she grappled with her emotions. In that moment, I realized how fragile life could be and. how important it was to cherish the moments we had with our loved ones.

So I needed to cherish every moment now with my little girl, and Luke, and all the loved ones present at the moment. Lukel left me so soon, and it was something I couldn’t predict. It was heartbreaking realizing that he would no longer be here with me. I missed him in every single way.
