To those who still have both parents or even one; Here is a message for you.
We look at you and wish we could be like you. Within us we wish we could spend more time with our parents too… but we can’t. Not because we don’t want to but because life simply didn’t give us that chance.
We wish we had more time and yes, sometimes we saw it coming. Even when the doctors told us, “They have six months left,” a part of us still held on. Hoping. Praying. Believing that maybe… just maybe… God would perform a miracle and give us more years. But then your person dies and suddenly you are angry at the world, at everything, even at God. Because how? How could He let it happen?
Then you remember what Scripture says; He created them… and one day, He calls them back. From soil to soil. It hits you hard that the one you loved so deeply was here for a limited time…and not a second goes beyond what God has decided.
Because we are human with human hearts for sure and sometimes our hearts cannot understand what heaven already knows.
So, let me say this too: We did love them. We were present. We visited. But do you?
Have you called them to tell them you love them? Or do you want to wait until you are drowning in regret?
A friend of mine told me that after hearing the speech I gave at my Mum’s burial, he drew closer to his parents. He realized how distant they had become and now their relationship is solid. I got many messages like that but this particular person stood out because he explained it so deeply.
So I know you, the one reading this, might still have the chance that most people didn’t. So how about you amend? You connect? Friends PLEASE, Hold them closer for us.
So that when they are finally called home by the Creator, you are at peace knowing they lived… and you lived with them.
Yes, it will still hurt when they transition from this world, I won’t lie but you will be at peace.
They say time heals. I don’t think it heals but it slowly teaches you to accept what you still don’t and can’t understand.
TUHAME ❤️
