I don’t feel like talking about anxiety today. The word in this quote that is so deceiving is “tomorrow.”
I have a dear friend whose mom is going into hospice care this month. That alone puts a number on the days left my friend has with his mommy.
On the other hand….
I have two cousins that are brother and sister that haven’t talked to each other in almost three years.
In the first scenario, my buddy has little time left with his mom. As sad as it is, he has the opportunity to come to terms with his mom. They can tell stories and tighten up all the loose ends they have.
I had this opportunity during the last sixty days I had with Cecilia, my mom. It was a gift from God to know that those days together were numbered.
Back to my knucklehead cousins….
…they don’t know how many tomorrows they have together. One of them can get hit by a bus later today. If that happens, the survivor will never have the opportunity to say goodbye. They are robbing each other of a last “I Love You.”
So my buddy who is caring for his dying mother has an advantage. He knows the days are few. He will get closure and find relief when his mommy gets her angel number.
Don’t be like my cousins. If you are holding a grudge. If you aren’t on speaking terms with someone that you love.
Well….
Take today’s quote and remove the word “anxiety” and put in the word that is stealing your today’s.
Anger? Cowardliness? Stupidity?
Because I know a word that will get shoved up your ass….. REGRET!
In today’s Grabber section is some Latin…. It means, “Pray for Us!”
Pray for my friend who is sharing the last days with his mom.
I pray every fucking day… I pray because it gives me strength for tomorrow.
I’m going to go watch the sunrise come through the window now… have a brisk day, have a glorious day and becareful out there!
