At the Hospital

Today, I went to see my uncle, who was in the hospital. Unfortunately, he met with a car accident one night while riding his motorcycle and broke his hip. As a result, he has been hospitalized for a few weeks now and is still recuperating from his injuries in the accident. I went to see him today and he could barely move. Just a slight move anywhere would cause immense pain to his body and he has also lost his appetite for a few days now. Seeing him really gives me much pain in the heart and sympathy for him. A man like him, just through a blink of the eye, an accident occurred that could paralyze him for life. It was then when I truly realised how a moment in life could just change everything.

After my visit, I really understood the importance of cherishing every moment of life now because you would not know what would happen next, when you will meet with a mishap and just pass away like that. I’ve witnessed how important it is to cherish every second of life before it is too late, before we become handicapped or die anytime. After seeing my uncle in his plight, I just want to spend precious time with my family and cherish every second of my life and live life to the fullest. It is extremely important that we understand this before it is all too late.

However, what I witnessed at the hospital and took away with me from the visit is not just this. What I witnessed was the smiles on the patients’ faces. No, I am not being sadistic or whatsoever by saying that they are happy because they are hospitalized, however, there are smiles on their faces because of their family’s presence and visits to the hospital. I saw another patient, having an expression of pain and sadness when alone and lonely. But when his family came, it seemed as though he became a changed person, with smiles all over his face. It really got me thinking how a family is so important. It is able to make a break a person’s day. I realised that with the support of a family, it brings much joy to one person, no matter how pain or hurt he seems to be. This man would be a very good example, becoming extremely happy as soon as his family came to see him and bring more joy to his life.

From what I have witnessed, I really understood the importance of family and knew that I had to cherish every moment of my life with my family, before it is all too late. I really want to spend just all my time with my family and never be away from them, as family ties are the most important and you family will forever be the most faithful and truthful to you.

In conclusion, I really understand the importance of family ties and that creating a very tight family bond is very important. Families are what make a person happy or sad. Families are the most important since they are in reality, the most truthful to you, even more reliable than whoever seems to be your best friend. Thus, I feel that whenever you have the time to spare, spend it with your family, because creating a close family tie is the most important.
