In this crazy world we experience many things that we aren’t able to understand.
We go through trials in our lives that test our faith and our ability to
function in normal every day circumstances. We find ourselves looking around at
others and thinking how much more fortunate we are than they, and then in the
blink of an eye, our own life changes and we think there is no one else as sad
as we. From the loves that we find and share, to the burdens that we help
others carry, our lives are filled with trials. We learn from our parents the
values that we will carry with us through life, and sooner or later, will always
return to. We learn that there are people that will come into our lives for
just a short time and even though we are not ready for them to leave, our
destiny is different from theirs. We stand and question our existence and wish
that we could see our futures, while at the same time knowing that if we could,
the whole mystery and thrill of experiencing life would be void. Through
change, or death, we lose the people in our lives that we love most, and at
those times we feel that we will never smile or know happiness again. Then one
day, you feel the sun shining on your face and you realize that somehow you are
smiling again.
Life isn’t easy. Life isn’t always fair. Life is a gift that we must not take
for granted. When you feel the urge to reach out to someone in friendship or to
tell someone that they are special or you love them, take the time to share
those feelings. So many regrets are born because of fear and so many
friendships are lost because of pride.
In my life I have experienced the loss of my mother, the loss of my husband and
the loss of a man that I thought I would be with forever. Through all of these
I was certain that whatever else happened in my life, I would never find
happiness again. But eventually the hurt got less and less and once again
(after each and every time) I found something to smile about. Whether it was a
memory or a story about that person, there was always something to smile about.
I have learned that the greatest gift you can give, is your time....and no
matter how much time we have with someone we truely love.....it's never enough. |
