Day 7 ~ What I Am Afraid Of

This one made me think ~ dig deep

and speak the truth

there are a few things that I am afraid of

and I am not just talking bugs here

I think we are all afraid of losing loved ones

I look around my family and they are all getting older

I miss my Dad so much some days

there is an actual pain in my chest

and knowing that I am going to go through that loss

that pain again frightens me

Fire scares me

losing all my stuff ~ and I know it is just stuff

to fire ~ I can't even imagine

the family keepsakes and photos

gone for ever ~ I cannot go there

same as a flood

our basement flooded when I was living at home

and you guessed it ~ my bedroom was in the basement

nothing like 12 inches of water to make you take stock

of what is important

I am not a wimpy scared of bugs kind of girl

June bugs and earwigs more than likely top my list

and snakes ~ they just have an ick factor

not a fan

and to round things out and keep things real

I am afraid of losing my hearing

I have partial hearing in my right ear

comes from years of infections as a child

to lose that sense ~ any of my senses actually

to not be able to hear music anymore

again ~ let's not go there

I am pretty brave most days

and strong

I am a woman after all!
