Narrative
Preparations by Kenneth Bernard is a story about how valuable time is and how it is life changing. "Would you rush naked to my dying side?" is question he wonders. He began considering this once when he heard about a Ukrainian woman do this for her husband. She was dressing from a shower when she got a knock on her door saying her husband, Fred, was dying. She rushed out to look for him and did not care that she was fifty years old and fat. What mattered to her was being beside her husband for his last words. The love she had for him was so great that she did not care about anything else but her husband. "No matter how many plans you make or how much in control you are, life is always winging it".
The message that i got out of this story was that no matter what happens, if you love someone you should be there for them no matter the circumstance. The old fat lady ran out naked to be with her husband the last minutes. The love that you feel for someone should be greater than anything else if you do worry about them. Be prepared for what life hold for you because you can never know what to expect. No one know what expect in a day to day basis but was does matter is the way you do respond to it depending on who is being affected. At the end of the day you always have to be prepared for the unprepared.
