article: be brave | written down

Second try at this. Hope this work this time.

This is my entry for yesterday which is a bit sad. The sticker attached to the photo says “be brave”.

There must be something in getting older that makes you neglect your own health until conditions get to the point that they takeover your life. The hidden journalling followed my talking my mum in law for a check up in the hospital yesterday afternoon. For years she has suffered from various ailments and only now sought treatment. Whilst waiting for her it made me think of my mum who did the same thing at the cost of her life.

If we don’t look after ourselves it is not just us but our loved ones that suffer.
