Seven Years Past

Autobiographical

Seven Years Past

Seven years past
Alone!
Alongside Route 11, on the outskirts of Abu Dhabi
GPS tracking worked...so I was found.
Having fainted...but still there.


All was about to change.
The past was the past, which didn't seem to matter anymore.
Soon I'd be diagnosed.
A rare disease
Genetic......From generations past.


I'd return home.
Alive but gravely.


Why this?
Why me?
Why now?


My luck would change.
New therapy...new medical technology.
A second chance.


Three opportunities....
New love...
New adventures...
A chance to contribute...


There is still no cure....
I'm fine....
I've been given a second chance.
