Changing up the life once again. My wife belongs to this board for mothers who all had their babies in the same month. One of the mothers on her board lost her husband yesterday morning in a car accident. She has a daughter the same age as my daughter and is expecting their second child in August, a boy I believe. This just struck me, and I have been thinking about it since my wife told me. I have been thinking how no one knows how long they have. Who knows if they will be here tomorrow. You can be in the prime of your life, have your best years ahead of you and Bam! lose it all in an instant. I send my thoughts and best wishes to this poor woman. I don’t know if I could handle what she is going through. She has to keep the vague memory of her husband alive for her daughter and her unborn son will never know his dad. She has to do all this and find a way to go on without her husband. They had no life insurance, he was the main source of income. She must be devastated. I don’t know if I would be able to make it through all that.
It has also got me thinking about my life. What I want to do with it and what I have done with it. I’ve realized that we don’t all have forever, the end could come tomorrow, maybe sooner. I want to be a writer. I want to write. I have decided that I can’t wait till my craft is better. The only way it will get better is for me to write. I have started a handwritten journal that I will write in every day. I will put more effort into finding time for my writing and my family. I will write stories for my kids. I will tell my kids that I love them every day. I will tell my wife how much she means to me every day of my life. I want to celebrate life. I want to live. I want to write.
Again my thoughts go out to this poor mother and her two children. I hope the best for them, I hope all works out for them in the end. We will do what we can to help her, I am going to talk to my wife about that tonight. If I find out more I will post links here and on my other site.
“I should be writing” and I think that I will.
