The Time In Between

Daily writing prompt
Is there an age or year of your life you would re-live?

I would like to relive my 19th year of life.

Sure, I was uncertain about everything.

Sure, I hadn’t prepared for adult life.

Sure, I still had the warning of potential cirrhosis and death hanging over my head.

No, I had no keys to enter or exit my own home.

No, I had no driver’s license.

But… My grandma was alive. I miss her so much. Back in a time when those closest to me wouldn’t die.

So yeah, 19. After escaping the horror of high school (18) and before my grandma dropped dead in the house, and I ended up doing CPR on her… knowing she was already dead (20).
