todayilived:
Today, I received two phone calls; one from a coworker and one from a long-time friend. My friend was saying how upset she was because a professor who was supposed to be giving a public lecture had to cancel because he has the flu.
My coworker was saying how upset she was because they told her that she would have to go through chemotherapy for her breast cancer, but how at the same time she was happy because it meant that they thought she could be helped.
I am thirty-six years old, and my coworker is twenty-nine, and she was still able to learn how precious life is before me. Thank you for teaching that to me.
