Life and Death
Submitted by KayKat on Wed, 06/27/2012 - 7:35pmI imagine it must be terrible to be old, to know that life is almost over and to know that death it closer than it has ever been. We go through life seeing others die, raising our children to die, wishing we could die, and then dying ourselves. Life can be cruel. We choose to do something more practical than follow our hearts. Going through life wishing we had done something different, watching others live our dreams, and saying if only. We tell our kids to live life to the fullest, to not be like us but you can’t stop the inevitable. Our kids grow up and give away their dreams; there are only few who live their dreams. Living an unfulfilled life and dying like the rest.
Death can be crueler. Once we have lived our lives we face a crueler path. We lose our senses, our minds, our souls, and then our bodies. In the period where we lose these our families abandon us treating us like a burden. Our friends die with us but nowhere near us, and we become a burden, a job, for “professionals.” These people are assumed to know what we are going through. In this time we just want the people who abandoned us back, to feel young once more, to be loved and needed again, and to be who we wanted to be, but never were because life got in the way. No professional, no person can truly understand this until they’ve lived it or stood on the side lines watching it happen. Read more »

If I Won The Lottery
Submitted by epentaleri on Fri, 02/10/2012 - 11:30amIf I won the lottery I would bring my whole family to a Yankee Game at Yankee Stadium, because my whole family likes the Yankees (but we don't all like the same football team!).
