About a year ago, I found out that my best friend has a disease that does not have a cure. Everything started with her eyes bothering her, I thought she was just blind and needed glasses, but then it was not only her eyes. Later on it was her legs, her hands, her back. Everything was hurting her and nothing was functioning normally. My best friend has a disease called multiple sclerosis, and this diseases consists on her immune system eating and destroying her nerves.
It is crazy isn’t it? Even our own body can harm us and change the courses of our lives. Finding out she has something that will always be with her and will never have a cure made me think about how humans do not take care, and love, and appreciate the people that are part of their lives. I feel like we simply acknowledge that they are there but we take that for granted every single day because we simply think that they are always going to be there, but it is nothing like that. This is such a cliche but life is so short.
You know I am not going to sit here and tell you guys that since I found out that she has an incurable disease I started loving her more and took more care of her because I obviously have not, she is my sister and we still argue and hate each other sometimes, but since I found out that she has multiple sclerosis I have acknowledge the fact that she is part of my life and nothing will keep me apart from her. Not even the fact that she is 2949 miles away from me, and not even that horrible disease that has complete control over her body.
