Five days a week, I have the opportunity to get up, eat breakfast, and go to work. Then, in the late afternoon, I get to go home.
On the other hand, not everyone has that privilege.
Yesterday, my spouse and I made a trip, probably to say goodbye to a relative. She's younger than I, and has cancer. Her prognosis is poor. She knew we were there, but was too tired/sleepy to interact with us. She is unable to get out of bed on her own.
I want to use the time I have left, whether years or months, wisely. I need to devote more thought to that than I have recently.
I need to remember how grateful I am for life.

Thank you for reminding me of the important things in life that we often take for granted.

That's sad. But yes, cherish the beauty around you!
ReplyDeleteI am so sorry that your family member is dealing with cancer. It is hard to see someone you love go through that. So it's good to cherish the sweet moments and the love and all of the good things, as well.
