And as I watched her I see tears in her eyes as she
looks at her loved ones gathered around her – probably for the last time in her
life. They hold both her hands and her feet with love. Stroked her forehead and
lay their hands on her shoulders – all quietly saying prayers for her in these
final conscious moments of her life telling her of their love for her…..as she
too told them of her love for them in the only way she now can…with her tears.
For me it was a moment for a life to pass in front
of my eyes and we all had to say our goodbyes to her and she to us
It is moment like these in our life that defines
the future for us. Always after these moments you go away resolved to live life
better. Be a better person and maybe for some of us try to understand the
meaning of life as defined by what we have just experienced.
For me personally I no longer need this kind of
emotion sapping moments to begin thinking of life and about what I want to do
with it. I think of life constantly. It is good to think about life and your
part in it. There are no answers. No constants in life. It keeps changing and
requires a certain acceptance that you are really powerless to do anything
about it except to change yourself. And maybe that might be enough. But there
is one thing you can be sure of about life – it will go on.
