What would you do?
My friend, Lisa, wrote this post a year ago. She couldn’t remember whether or not she posted it on Facebook, so she posted it on the forth anniversary of her friend, Ralph Trask’s, death, to honor his children and grandchildren–Abbey, Mitch, Caiden, Luke, and Brantley. I loved the post so much that I asked her if I could use it in my blog. It reminds us to slow down, breathe, and live fully.
On the third anniversary of a friend’s premature death, I’m thinking of others in my life who have left this physical world way too soon. It would be sad not to let those losses affect my life in a lesson-teaching way. I often think of these folks and wonder what they would do if they had more days to live.
Would they do the same things they had planned? What would you do? Something more dramatic or something very simple?
Would you…
Hug someone harder
Call someone you love
Turn off the TV
