It is was just like yesterday when my relatives from down south went here to celebrate the birthday of my mother. She is a bit thinned-out in this photo a bit because the last time that I did saw her she is a bit stockier but in this photo she is slimmer. It matters because usually people with developing cancer condition loses weight, true enough my Aunt did died from it.
I am sad about it even though we are not emotionally close with my Aunt, I am thankful that we are not because it will be more painful for me to lose her. I am sorry for my mother in losing one of her sibling and it was just a year ago that my Uncle (their brother) passed-away so fast too without a warning and was just seen by his friends lifeless already in their workplace.
Now my mother only has two siblings left so it is just really sad obviously to lose someone in your family because they will never come back. At least my two Aunts that are remaining are okay with their economic situation in life so my mother would not worry about that issue anymore but their own health which is at this time still okay.
My brother had bought a vehicle and I am glad that he did because it is now being utilized for such important matters like travelling in longer distances. Now to our surprise he did not told us that he was planning to buy a new car and drive for that matter. And so he did and practiced driving going into places to get the feel of driving the car and be god at it. Now he is already a professional driver and my mother told me that he is a careful driver too.
I can also feel how my eldest driver drives because I am comfortable with his driving skills not unlike my father who is a fast driver which is okay but our car that we use here is like an Ox cart so whenever I ride it to go to and from anywhere I would secure my body with all four of my limbs so that my back would not suffer from the jerks coming from ever bit of bumps on the road.
Sometimes I would really yell in pain whenever we would go fast and then hit a bump since the roads here in my place are terrible considering that they are newly re-paved concrete road. The road is one factor but my father really is a bit fast driver, and with an old car with shock absorber issues it makes it hard for me to travel in that vehicle which is actually my other brother's car.
Part of my plan God-willing is to get a car that is comfortable to ride into. Part of the reason as I stated above was our car (my brother's) had a very bad and stiff shock absorber and it is hard for me to even lay down on the cushioned seats because even that my father had stuffed with cloth materials that it is uneven and hard to lay my back down unto.
The only good about that car was its engine because it is well-maintained as well as the brakes and such. But the body had already rotten and there are instances that I nipped my legs because of the rotten part of the body below the car door and it does needs replacing because it is already impractical to repair it.
But of course I will just buy a new car than renovating or repairing the body and all the bad parts in it because in that way I will be freed from having to repair a second-hand or renovated car. Riding our current car is just a stress for my body particularly to my joints that is why I do needed a newer one that we can use to maybe travel like in my relatives down south without worrying what or whose cars to use.
Anyway having a reliable and comfortable car to ride with when and wherever it is needed is in my list. It is not a top priority because my number one concern is to not let my saved funds to wither away for my medical needs since my health needs has to be secured before anything else for the reason that nobody except the steem communtiy helps me regarding that issue, so I do thank God a million times for that.
But if I would be given an opportunity I will just buy a car that my second brother likes so that he could also enjoy driving it for his purpose because the car that we are using is his and only takes it here whenever he needs it when they are going someplace with his family.
Again I just pray that cryptocurrency and or steem would perform better with its price action in the nearest possible time because my back is already killing me riding our old dilapidated, decrepit old car.
