Just a small glimpse into why I may have unapologetically missed your call, text, email, or invitation. I spent a a few days trying to be as present and in the moment with my two heartbeats. I spend way too many hours racing against the clock for others that if tomorrow doesn’t come for me, they’d weep For five minutes and then toss the thought into their unnecessary pile of occurrences. I was able to make memories with my niece and nephew that I hope Will be engrained in their minds for years to come. We shared smiles, laughter, hugs, love, and reminders of being grateful and taking pauses to truly let the moments sink in. There were many instances that I closed my eyes to Thank God and opened them full of tears. You’re going to turn around and blink one day and in the distance will be your youth. You’re going to get flashbacks and glimpses of life. I hope that in my final breath I can truly say, it was all worth it, and I’ve left others better from my existence. Call that friend, grab that coffee, take that trip. Say I Love and Truly Mean It. Be the reason for someone to smile. Take their breath away before life takes our final one. Be well.
