Taurus women...

Hats off to you ladies!

My dad's girlfriend had open heart surgery today. She's in ICU right now and will be unconscious for 2 days but the doctor said the surgery was a success.

So he calls me to tell me all about these articles he's reading now about what food needs to be avoided and how he's clearing the fridge and looking at some recipes and how he's airing the house and how he stopped smoking because she isn't allowed to smoke and he doesn't want to smoke around her either and bla bla Virgo business as always and then he stopped and went:

"You know, she's a strong woman"

*hold herself back from saying "no shit?!"

"Do tell how you reached this epiphany"

"Well I was talking to her and fretting and hoping for the best and telling her I love her and I just want her to know that if anything happens and.."

"So basically you were having a 10 minutes monologue of worry"

"Yes and then she said..literally her last words to me"

"Go ahead"

"I'll talk to you in 2 days"

...and all was good and calm in the world again. I was thinking...beyond the stubborness, there's something to be said about this firm self-reliant acceptance of life and what transpires. There's a serenity to it us Virgo cannot master. I respect that, I see it as strength.

It basically made me remember this part of the Taurus Woman description. I once translated it for my father and it's eery how well it matched:

"I remember a scene I once watched in a hospital. A Taurus woman was going upstairs for serious surgery, so serious that her chances of surviving the operation were very small, and she knew it. It was a calculated risk. As her husband watched her being placed on the cart that would wheel her to the operating area, she noticed the tears in his eyes. But she never commented. She made jokes instead, until the nurses giggled and even the doctor smiled. The last thing her family heard her say as the orderlies were pushing and pulling, trying to get the cart into the elevator, was typically Taurean. Instead of glancing back at her loved ones with a tearful look of farewell, she raised up on one elbow and spoke to the young men firmly. "Before you put me back on this thing again, get some oil and grease those damned wheels." A Taurus woman never lets sentiment interfere with practicality."
