There were three people standing across the room, waiting for an old lady to die. They were all waiting for her to die so they could resume their lives, they have been doing this for three years, each time they though it was her last, her heart would beat again, they weren't her children but her nephews and niece.
The doctor attending to the old lady was angry at such behavior and chased them out of the room. The old lady woke up and the doctor told her gently that she is a fighter and he had chased her family out to give her some peace. But she whispered:
"No... they are impatient, it's been a long time. "
"But they always come."
"They are my people."
"People keep you going, people are better than no people."
And I think that is very true, people are better than no people, no matter who they are...
