What are your thoughts on the concept of living a very long life?
My dad died at the age of 84, my mom at the age of 94.
How do I envision life? Do I want to live long like they did? I guess it is not a question of how long you have stayed in your earthly existence but how you spent your life, did you find meaning in it? Did you enjoy all the graces and experiences you encountered? Such questions sometimes insert themselves while I think of life.
I am not always in good health. Been sickly since I gave birth to Nissa forty three years ago. All these years though, I have been grateful that I am still alive. I watched my kids grow, get married, had a smart grandson in Nate. All I ask is a few more years to be with them and to enjoy the rest of the years I’ll be given to live longer.
Only God knows our destiny. Only He knows when we will leave this earth. I don’t ask for long life. All I am praying is when I go, I am spiritually prepared to meet my Maker, that my kids won’t have to take care of me when I am at an age where I could no longer function normally.
All these vicissitudes in life, the ups and downs, the hardships make us all grow a little stronger and courageous to face it.
