The last one standing
The advantage of being the youngest is having the guidance of elders; the disadvantage is that eventually we will be left standing alone. I wasn’t planned. My nearest sibling was 16 years older.
But they are gone now. All of them.
I still ask myself, what would they do?
I still depend on what I remember. Still hope they would be proud of me.
Im certain our elders anguish terribly about leaving the young ones behind. How could they not?
They tried to prepare me, and now I am left to honor everything that they sacrificed.
I miss them; I loved them; and I cant find it in my heart to fail them.
There is no one to answer to but myself, but you know, the questions are getting harder.
We all made mistakes.
Ill be happy if I can just DO NO HARM.
