Some day, I will look back, and find all of this very funny.
The bursting into tears
The sitting around the kitchen table and complaining of our aches and pains
The acute hopelessness and despair of ever recovering
The perennial pain in my throat and chest
The semi-lucid wakeful dreams: chipmunk treasure quest, Infernal Affairs, kungfu, decisions, work...
Although I am 22, there's nothing I want more than to be 2 again. I want my Mom here. I want someone to take care of me, to tell me You Will Recover. To take care of everything so I can drift in and out of sleep peacefully, waking up just to eat medicine, instead of having to shuffle downstairs to make my own food, and worry about the timing of medicine. But my mom is far away, and I don't want to worry her anyway.
I've just realised how heartsick she must've been all those years when I used to burn up with fevers. I was a Very Sickly child. I think she has suffered too much already.

I do think we're old when we care enough about our parents to not tell them something..

Hey dearie, take care of yourself so you don't make us (the ones not close enough to do anything) worry about you.
That's a pretty selfless reason to take care of oneself. *grinz*

re: vyanne: we had some firecrackers too. but a sodding neighbour yelled at his us: "some of us are trying to sleep here, do you know what time it is?!!" pffft...
re: steve: i generally don't tell my parents stuff if it would cause them worry, but they wouldn't be able to make a material difference.
