Sometimes you don’t realize

how easy something is

until you don’t have it

It’s like when your nose is stuffy

and you don’t think about

how easy breathing is

until you can’t do it well

My sister is unassuming

She doesn’t expect anything

but care and love

I never realized how much

I took her for granted

Until she was sick

But she’s back now

and I won’t take a single moment

for granted

Because I know how lucky I am

that she came home

Hi everyone! I’m back! It felt soooo long. I’ll be back to my regular posting soon. Just a bit of an update on what happened. My sister normally has a seizure every a week and half or so, but last Saturday, she had more than ten. We were very concerned and we went to the ER after the fifth one. The next day she has several more (though never more than the first day). Thankfully, her seizures became less and less until she went through two days without any. The doctors did a lot of labs and tests but don’t know why she had so many in a short period. She was well enough to come home today, so she and my mom (who stayed with her for the entirety of her hospital stay) came home. I am incredibly grateful that she got better on her own and was able to come back. I know not everyone is that lucky. Thank you for the well wishes! Now I have the head space and time to write, so I’ll be posting soon.

Always,

Anya
