Oh, it's been a long week. A long two weeks, actually. I don't think I've posted anything since exactly two weeks from today, thanks to the demands of classes, work, life and my lack of motivation to post anything that I find of interest.
I'll just tell you how a piece of my day went, now that I've arrived at the end of it...
I was awakened from my fitful sleep to a phone call from my mom this morning at 5:30. She was in the airport, about to board a flight out to Wichita to attend my uncle's funeral on Tuesday. I made a bold attempt to sound like I had been awake for a good piece of time and rid my voice of morning grogginess, but it didn't help...because I was NOT awake. All she wanted was to tell me that she loved me before she boarded. I love my mom, and I'll make no apologies for that...and I'm not throwing this on here as a disclaimer on the off chance that she reads this either.
My uncle passed away this past Thursday. I think times like this, a family is always reminded how fragile time is, and how fleeting our lives are. You're reminded that there is never a limit to how many times one can say, "I love you."
So, I guess that's all I've got to say today...sorry it's a little heavy, I guess I've just been feeling a little weighty this week and felt like I needed to get it off my chest. I'll try to do a better job at staying on top of this thing...I've got SO much to talk about, I just never sit down to do it!
If you think of it, please pray for my Aunt and my cousin...
Isn't it a precious thing to tell someone you love them?
ReplyDeleteIn a real and genuine way of course--it is one of those things that is sometimes said to little--and other times said too much.
Prayers for your family.
