Doctor, Doctor.

After school today my mom and me ran to Beaumont hospital in Royal Oak to meet my dad and grandma for my grandpa's surgery. It was a long procedure, but when it was finished he seemed to be doing pretty well. I spent the day sitting with him as he came out of surgery, and I couldn't help but admire the strongness he portrayed. I really respected and learned from that. You can really learn a lot of lessons by just watching people. I saw family's coming together and giving each other support in the worse situations possible.

The man next to my grandpa also just came out of surgery, except he was not doing well. I heard the family talking and saying things like "They say he only has a little longer to live" and things like that, and of course this was very sad. I got to thinking, if I we're to be the one lying on that bed, would I pass away knowing I was the best I could be? Did I accomplish everything I set out too? Then I thought, I hope someday when I am in a situation like this, that my family will be there by my side. Going to see a family member in need should NEVER be a task or chore. It should be a want out of someone's heart. I would sit there for months if it's what took for my grandpa to get better. It's just how I am.

I hope if you haven't already in life, realize that there is someone who needs you way more than you think. Don't hesitate, because we never have enough time. It certainly won't wait around for you. Go into every situation warm-heartedly and remember that we don't know where an individual goes home at night, they might need more help than you think.

well, I'm off to sleep. Then picking my grandpa up with my dad at 9am.
take it easy friends,
Alecks.

I wonder if anyone has even read these yet. haha.
