“If you were going to die soon and had only one phone call you could make, who would you call and what would you say? And why are you waiting?” ~Stephen Levine
What a totally amazing quote —- well, more than a quote really. It’s more of a wake-up call, isn’t it?
For those of us who have had more than our share of losses in life, these words take on a whole new meaning. I lost both of my parents at ages that were far too young to die, my sister-in-law survived cancer only to lose her life in a freakish accident, and my adorable in-laws have both moved on, as well. There’s something about going through so many losses that makes you really appreciate, value, and maybe even cling to the people in your life, as well as your life, itself.
You know how people are always, always, always saying, “You never know what tomorrow will bring?…” I’ve become one of those people and there’s a reason we keep saying it – because it’s one of hardest, most “in your face” truths there is.
Re-read the quote and make a few calls. Or, walk through the house and give out hugs!
