What matters most.
What matters most in life isn't what we have, what we've accomplished, where we've been or what we have done. The things that matters most are the people we love. The people who are a part of our lives, who touch us daily, the love and respect we have and show, that's what matters the most.
I will continue to tell the people in my life that they matter, that they are important and that I care. Daily they will hear the words "I love you " and I will say this with purity, without agenda and with no regrets.
I feel that love is why we were put on this earth, to share lives, hold people dear and near, to cherish every moment and to love without fear. I have loved, lost and loved again, just to loose again yet I refuse to stand by and not tell my children what they mean to me, how they are the loves of my life. To tell my parents, how much they have held me close the past 2 years, my siblings and friends how much I cherish and appreciate them. I will not stop giving love out, I will fight for love, I will hold on to the true meaning of what really matters....Loving people openly and honestly, purely and deeply, without condition and with respect.
Life is short, unpredictable and not promised. Last night at my son's HS graduation, on the jumbo screen in the arena, they had the name and photo of every graduate, then they came to the Os....there his name was, below read "In Remembrance". A student, a high school Junior at the time, suddenly gone, killed in a car wreck. I can't even imagine what last night was like for his parents. Or, the parents of the student in my daughters class who died of cancer his freshman year. Or the parents of the two students of my first daughter. These children who never made it to their HS graduation or completed their first year of college. All together, my children have lost 5 peers between the 3 of them before a 19th birthday was ever seen. The pain these parents must feel seeing their childrens's classmates from kindergarten on, graduating high school and college , knowing their child was robbed of having the chance to grow up, start families, to become who they were meant to be. Watching, as we take for granted the gift of life we are so selfishly living.
Don't take for granted the opportunity to live throughly and purposefully, to do what others never got the chance to do and never let a day go by without telling those in our lives exactly how you truly feel. "I Love You", "You mean something to me" and "You're important" can mean the world to those who really do matter.
