Yesterday was the day when I had to watch a person, once so demanding and fierce,
lying down there struggling for help.
Yesterday I stood there,
feeling hopeless and did not know what to do.
Yesterday was the day when I thought I needed first aid lessons.
Yesterday I realised how important neighbours were.
Yesterday I contemplated on dialing 995.
Yesterday, I had my first ride in an ambulance,
filling with anxiety and fear,
not with enjoyment like how I wished to.
Yesterday, I learned what is high, normal, low blood glucose levels.
Yesterday was the day I grew up,
the day that I learned many new things.
Yesterday.
