They gave him two months to live. Let me explain.
First let me say, life to death is in a blink of an eye. What we think is important now wonโt matter on our last day.
They owned their home for 53 years. My clients.
It was hard for them to say goodbye to their home. They packed the best the could and waited for the movers. Their first and only home is full of memories, some goodโฆ some bad.
The husband, who has assigned to hospice less than two months ago, is one of the nicest men Iโve met. Given two months to live, there were times I was startled to see how alert he was. How do you consume the thought that you only have weeks here on earth? That your eyes wonโt see life through this year.
I would lie if I say I didnโt tear up a few times. I seen him weakened with time. It was hard.
The truth is, we will all be there one day. At least we hope. Itโs a blessing to live the almost 80 years that he did and to be given notice that his time is near. Why? Because he gets to spend his final days next to his family and his family gets to have him on his final days. I donโt think thereโs anything worst than the sudden passing of a loved one. At least thatโs my opinion.
With this said, all the awards, the recognition, cars, etc., matter for only the moment being but wonโt mean ๐ฉ when our time comes.
We think we have time. We think that day is far away. If we only really knew. Enjoy those you love and those that love you.
Good night โค๏ธ.
