Days Of Grace

As I lay here, about to undergo my cancer surgery, knowing the chances of dying are great, I look back on the decisions I have made in my life. Some good, and some bad. I advise you to learn from my mistakes and not make them yourself. First of all, if your sister asks you if the iron is hot or cold, DO NOT put your hand on it to see. Just look to see if the light is on that says “on”. Never again will I touch an iron…
When your parents ask you to do something, do it! If you don’t it will end up being worse that doing what they asked, and besides that, you will still have to do what you got in trouble for not doing. Always listen to your parents, no matter how ridiculous they seem at the moment.
Although some choices are hard to make, always choose what you think will have the best out come.

Vantage

Something that is a vantage is not a fair fight. Just like if a Great Dane and a Chihuahua were to fight, who do you think would win? The Great Dane, hands down. I consider that an unfair fight.

Intricate

Intricate is fine detail or complexity. I think of hand carved chairs and tables. Some of these have extreme detail and must have taken a lot of time and have been complicated to make.

Fathom

Fathom is a unit of depth (a length of six feet) or to come to understand something like the depth of poetry. I thought of a scuba diver diving several fathoms under the sea.

Annihilate

Annihilate is to completely destroy or take away hope. I think of the California wildfires when I think of annihilate. Not only did they destroy almost anything in their path, but many people were left without hope as they found they had lost their homes.

Obsession

To be obsessed is to have an addiction to something or not to be able to think about anything but one certain thing. I have read many stories of people who have pet sugar gliders and become addicted to them, and all they can think about are sugar gliders.

Surmise

Surmise is to have a conclusion not based on strong evidence. Just like what came first, the chicken or the egg? People have their own thoughts on this and there is no clear evidence to show which came first.
