!@#$

I say the right things but act the wrong way

I don’t usually do this… BUT, if you know me well enough you know I’m a softy on the inside.  These past six days have been.. tough to say the least.  Being the private person that I am, when bad things happen within my personal life I try and keep them as unknown as possible.  What I have learned during the last few days is something worth sharing.  

1) Your parents, my parents, our parents… they will all die.  Maybe I’m the only person out there who, for a long time, believed that my mommy and daddy were going to be around forever.  I now know that that is not the case.  I hope you tell them how much you love them and how wonderful they are.  I plan on doing that everyday until life decides that I no longer have that chance.

2)Relationships with parents are never not complicated.  In my opinion, sometimes even a tragedy can not mend a broken relationship.  Some children need to have a distant relationship with their parents in order to have a positive relationship with their parents.  If this applies to you.. I find it unfair to punish yourself for the distance that is necessary (even when something catastrophic may occur).  

I don’t know if the Gods, or medicine, or time, or sleep, or hospital food, or the drugs, or if any of the listed things were what gave my family a tomorrow together.  BUT.. something did.  Thanks unknown life-saving-thing.
