From just 2-4 weeks ago my Uncle being at home.....to having a family meeting about moving him into a nursing home-hospice.
All the memories and feelings from 5 months ago come streaming back as if it were yesterday.
And all it proves is that life is fragile and totally out of our hands.
With that in mind, there are many responses:
- Live every day as if your last
- Live it up never worrying about consequences, money, responsibility
- Speak your mind
- Speak the truth
- Never go to bed angry, resentful, mad, or with regrets
- Always tell everyone you love "I love you"
- Don't look back
- Cross every item off your bucket list
- Follow your heart
- Follow your dreams
- Don't let ignorant people hold you down, bully you, upset you
- What's the point in making plans when tomorrow will never come?
On the day we are remembering one Uncle's birthday, we are discussing the future of another.
Oh, Lord, give us the strength to get through this and the faith to believe it's all happening for a reason.
