In a casual text message conversation just now, one of my Fubar friends and a member of my bomber family, Mandah, was telling me how she was standing outside in the snow waiting for her mom to come pick her up. Her mom is disabled and she was going to go with her to Walmart to help her do her grocery shopping. It made me think, how many people probably would have been irritated by having to stop their lives to help someone else out, even a family member. But she just said, "I don't mind helping my mom".
It made me think of my mom, who died suddenly and unexpectedly at the age of 58 (almost 7 years ago) from a stroke. It made me think back wether there were times she wanted or needed me to do anything with her or for her and it inconvenienced me.....I can't really remember anything specifically.
But it makes me wonder, would I have spent more time with her and lived differently had I known she would be taken from me so early and way too soon. Of course I would have.
We NEVER KNOW when or if we are going to lose someone in our lives. Don't ever take them for granted.
Make every day count. Make sure the people in your life know what they mean to you and make yourself available for the people in your life who count.
Just a random thought.
