My Secret Garden

Episode 5: A Long, Long Struggle with Illness

The first thing I see when I wake up in the morning are all the medications and Ringer's solutions being administered to me. Well, I'm used to this sight now. I think my sister went to school again today.

It's a nice, clear day today, at least. I hope the weather will be like this when I leave.

People feel sorry for me. I'm 18, the age when I should be running around and studying, but I can't do that.

Tears fall from my eyes as I gaze out the window. Honestly, I'm so envious of my peers, who run around and study. I wish I could be like them too...
