Significant Human Experience

I really thought that I would not have anything to write this time but I was wrong. All went right and everything was fine. My life was happy and my special someone and I are very much contented with each other. Everyday was wonderful until an event came. It was July 20, 2006, Thursday, when that experience happened. I was washing the dishes when I heard our neighbor somewhat like in panic. I thought she was only fighting with her husband because it is not new to us and that always happen. So, I continued with what I was doing. Then, my mother saw somebody in our gate and she opened it.

She saw the sister of our neighbor and the girl asked if she could use our phone. My mother asked her on who would she call for she was already crying. The girl answered that she would call her mother and asks for help because his nephew was having a convulsion and his brother-in-law was in Dumaguete. Mother, who was also in panic, suggested that they must bring the little boy to the hospital. Luckily, my father arrived early from work and offered a help in bringing the boy to the hospital. My father went to their house to assist them in handling the boy. When they were on their way to our van, they passed in front of me and I actually saw the boy who was very stiff. He likely tries to move but he can not for his whole body was hardened. I was really shocked and I got nervous because it was only at that time when I saw someone in that condition. I was trembling and I was not able to sleep so I decided to wait for them. My parents came and they said that the boy was already attended by the doctor and was already fine. The boy would have to stay for he must take some tests, especially in the brain, to assure that he would be okay. The boy’s mother said that he fell from the window because he was plying with his siblings and he tried to climb but he was not able to hold so he fell.

For me, it was the main thing we should realize and that we should live our life to the fullest because we never know when God would take it from us. We must not be awkward in doing things for ourselves and for the people we love. Just like our neighbor, it started with a simple fever and in that instant, he had a convulsion. He might not notice the significance of what has happened but in the case of his mother, that moment was very important because for any moment, he could lose her son. So, if you want to do something, do it now. If you want to say something, say it or if you want to hug somebody, do it because we never know when would our lives end?
