Days and nights meshed together and I just dwelled on how I thought Lindy was feeling then thought about my brother, then on to the kids; round and round I went. How were they going to get through this? It broke my heart cause honestly I don’t think I could get through if my husband died, yes I am a big wimp when it comes to that. As I watched my brother through this whole experience, he gave me strength. He handled it way better than I ever would. His strength taught me that even through trails we can remember the little things that can get us through anything. He talked about Lindy and things he remembered. To you and me they seem simple, but to him it is all he has now. If you live in the moment and enjoy every moment you will never miss out.
Most recently I have been working full time since my husband lost his job and the things I miss the most are the simple things like kids breaking into the fridge and making a castle out of the food, finding the kids covered in marker, finding dryer sheets scattered around the house or even baby wipes for that matter, and most of all I miss teaching my children different things, playing games, cooking dinner for my family. These may seem so simple or not your idea of great moments, but to me they are moments I miss. I am sure that these same sentiments are true as you pass on. If Lindy could talk to us today, what would she tell us? Would she say she misses working, her house, her car, or even shopping? Probably not, she would say something simple that to her meant everything…a kiss, a hug, a smile! So I say to you enjoy the small things in life. Drive safe this Holiday Season, buckle up, and remember to live in the moment!
