2020's Message to the World: 'Life is Unpredictable & Way Too Short!'

Image
I can't believe it's already 2020 and has started off containing tension, sadness as well as a shock - mainly involving death and unimaginable tragedy - nothing on a personal standard. Nonetheless, it still grasped my attention and evoked a mix of emotions, depending on the situation. Two occurrences were more on a global standard - captivating the world & one not so global. Though, all within the same month! 😕 Two out of the three startled and saddened me, particularly the latest one - giving me the reminder that life is way too short and being civil/friendly with a warm smile is the best approach in life. The most recent demises were of an established sports personality and his 13-year-old daughter. The basketball legend was an icon to many but, most importantly, a loving husband and a doting father.

The Extraordinary Life

My name is Diana. I was born on the 7th of February 1997. I was born seven months premature and as soon as I was born, I had breathing difficulties. The doctor or nurse told my parents I could not breathe but they said they would give me three days and if I did not breathe or be able to revive in those three days, then, unfortunately, that’s it. Nevertheless, I was a fighter and fortunately, I started breathing on the third day and this was all because of the Almighty, my beloved mother and family. Yet still, my legs were very similar to penguin legs and my head was too big, but my mother massaged my legs day and night as well as gave medicine to me for my head so it can be a normal-sized head. She did this despite being sick (asthma) herself. Thus, today if I’m walking with legs that are straight and no longer like a penguin and have an average-sized head it is all thanks to my loving and exceptional strong mother. I love her dearly; she has done a lot for me which I’m forever grate...
