When I was told to tell GOODBYE

This was a life changing incident that I want to share with you all. I have always been very grateful to God for all that He has blessed me with. I have had no reason to complain to Him. I was kind of an all-rounder in school. I was very good at studies; I was very good at painting; I was into dancing and singing (however, pathetic in acting); I was into athletics and a host of extra-curricular activities. I was a popular person in school. When I reached my 8th grade, I developed some problem in my left knee. I couldn't run or dance for long. It used to be painful. At first doctors couldn't diagnose it properly but by the time I reached my 10th grade, I was in such pain that I underwent an operation. The doctor said that it was a knee-tumour and I should be very careful not to strain myself too much.
I vividly remember the feeling I had when I was anesthetized. It's a floating feeling. You feel like floating in the air or riding a horse that gallops gently. All the tensions and worries leave you and you are not afraid or sad for anything. I kept reciting the names of all my friends as the anesthetist gave me the anesthesia. I felt I had to take all names, I could not miss anyone out and time appeared to be flying away... I tried to rush but I couldn't.
When I woke up that night, I found that I have to be in bed for at least a month. And later, I got to know that straining would lead to problems and then I would have to undergo some surgery relating to the patella. It was awful. Dance and sports were my passion. It was the first time that I felt angry with God for sometime. But as I said earlier, it was a life-defining experience as then I became a poet.
And now, life is just as beautiful as it would have been with dance and sports but without poem.
