the last major change in my life was the end of a marriage, right in the middle of my father's last days, and immediately followed unexpectedly by my brother-in-law the following year. it wasn't a very pleasant year or two.
now, in the last 18 months, i would say is the second major change in my life... a totally unpredictable change from a couple to being on my own, which is not too bad as playing solitaire can be quite serene at times, to my daughter uprooting herself to the other end of the world.
when we were young, we always have this rosy picture that we would get married, have kids, watch them grow and get married, have marvellous bonding and lots of visits among the grown children, and the two old folks growing old together. some of us are blessed with that of course and sail through life, but many of us have a more exciting roller coaster ride - filled with adrenalin rushes, challenging times and emotions, drastic highs and lows....
i wonder what will happen round the corner... but as they say, we take one day at a time..
