"Many go fishing all their lives
without knowing that it is not fish they are after." - Henry
David Thoreau
Oh-oh. Something in my eye
again ...
As
I approach my twilight years, I am struck by the inevitability that the
party must end. And one clear, cold morning after I'm gone, my spouse
will awaken in the warmth of our bedroom and be struck with the pain of
learning that sometimes there isn't "anymore."
No more hugs, no more special moments to celebrate together, no more
phone calls just to chat, no more "just 5 minutes more."
Sometimes, what we care about the most gets all used up and goes away,
never to return before we can say good-bye, or say "I love you."
So while we have it, its best we love it, care for it, fix it when it's
broken and heal it when it's sick.
This is true for marriage.....and old cars, and children with bad
report cards, and dogs with bad hips, and aging parents and
grandparents. We keep them because they are worth it, because we are
worth it.
Some things we keep -- like a best friend who moved away or a
son-in-law after divorce. There are just some things that make us
happy, no matter what.
Life is important, like people we know who are special. And so, we keep
them close!
Suppose one morning you never wake up, do all your friends know how you
really feel? The important thing is to let every one of your friends
know your true feelings, even if you think they don't love you back.
So, just in case I'm gone tomorrow, please rest assured, I voted
against that asshole, Obama, both times!
