On Growing Up

Another growing up "milestone" is coming to term with the fact that your parents are suddenly ageing too fast for you to fathom the changes.

Out of the blue, they started going to regular check ups, out of the blue, they have medicine baskets that are always full to the brim, out of the blue, they have to go for detailed exams for one conditions after another.

These are your always strong, immune-to-sickness parents while raising you up.

You're not ready. But you have to.
