A long boring story - but my ex-fiance is going for another major operation today. She has not been well for years and has been through everything modern medicine can throw at her.
We were sweethearts as kids, then many years went by and we finally got together as adults. Her situation happened very quickly and all our plans went out the window. Every one. It has been a long hard fight - and when she thought she was better - she was just sick of being sick and sick of me too (for good reason), but we are still close..
Anyway, she is only alive now because she has kept raising her son, who was only a kid then, but really a man now. That responsibility has paid off - because he has grown up to be a wonderful person with a bright future. He makes the world a better place, just by being in it. No matter how bad things are now - she has found happiness and profound meaning to her life by raising him.
So yes, we are all missing out on something, and we all get dragged into all kinds of places we would rather not be - but it is not empty. To much joy and heartbreak and everything else good and bad to be empty.
Anyway, Livi - Man, you see more stuff than the next dozen of us combined. Just stick to the path, one day at a time..
