Almost to the day a year ago...I heard the same news but for someone else. Three days to live. Lung cancer. When the universe needs you to learn lessons as completely as you need to it makes sure it works overtime. So there we were driving to rush to the side of a cherished man as he lived his last few moments on our great big spinning planet. This time instead of making the hard decisions...I held the hands of the others that had to. Instead of gathering a collection of friends and family that needed to say goodbye...I hugged the people that needed some strength. Instead of holding up my courage to get through moments of hell...I laughed out loud at stories of hilarity that brought peace to the distraught. I hugged. I encouraged. I prayed.
Almost to the day a year ago...I was the one being held together by the loved ones that surrounded us. Those that brought us food, coffee, solace, and love. Today, I had the tools, wisdom and love to return the favor to the world.
