Face Your Fears


People always say to face your fears.
That it will make you stronger.
I was never really scared of anything. I lived a happy childhood. I had a loving family. I guess the only thing I was afraid of was losing one of them. 
How do you face a fear like that? There is no way to prepare for the news, no way to become stronger in order to soften the blow. 
My worst fear was to receive a phone-call.
My worst fear came true.
