How Playing House Became Real.
I never thought this day would
come. Waking up in the hospital bed with one kidney gone and the other
kidney in disarray, how could life had been so unfair was the question that
first came to mind. Heavily medicated, I heard the doctor tell my wife,
“If his other kidney does not wake up in the next 8-10 hours, then he will be
on dialysis for the rest of his life,” and my wife began to cry over my bed.
It was 2011, and playing house had just
gotten real. All I remembered at that time was did I pay the life
insurance premium? Would my wife and kids be okay? Did I prepare my
family financially to run the house in my absence? The only check box I
could make at the time was I had paid the insurance premium, but I could not
say I had answered all the other questions.
