Ramblings: how things affect people

Like I mentioned in the beginning, I had a family member that went through a health scare last week. Today it is the first week this person has to live with a diagnosis that affects 246 million people worldwide, diabetes. More tests are needed to figure out if it was an isolated incident or if medication will be needed for the rest of this person's life.
But it never ceases to amaze me how people react to info like this. His daughter, who had decided two weeks before that she needed more exercise, closed up and did not talk to anyone for a couple of days. His wife sounds like a military officer, barking orders about what he can and cannot do. His parents freaked out and the male family members were all very concerned. There is only one thing most of these people have in common: they are all taking a second look at what they eat and their lifestyle choices. You should too. Keep trying.
