Life’s twist and turns upsets people’s
path through this world in unexpected ways. Yeah, I know – not profound and not
original.
A woman once married to a cousin in a
hospice in Seattle not expected to live a month. Brain hemorrhages/brain cancer
felled her three weeks ago while on an Alaska adventure.
A robust woman, she lived life with a
zest despite many health problems (once traveled to India for a hip
replacement). Her husband, my cousin, has fought MS for decades. For whatever
reasons, and not my business, they have gone their separate ways. I’m not
certain they have ever divorced.
She has two adult children and four
grandsons. She is only 60.
Over the years she has become close to my
two surviving aunts. For them, it is like losing a child.
If there is a lesson in this, it is enjoy
the people in your life while you have them.
Thanks for that powerful lesson, seize the day. How much easier it is to say than to do! Still, there it is.
ReplyDeleteMay she rest in peace.
