Da count.........Looking back...and forward.

This count goes out to family, and difficult conversations. I'm sure many of you are aware we recently had a death in the family, and the ripple effect that brings. While this has been a difficult time, it has actually had some positive benefits. One of the things that this prompted me to do, was catch up some with my family. I spent some time with an uncle I rarely see, and made sure his plans were on paper. We drank some beer and caught up on just talk, goofey stuff. I made time to visit my mom, and make sure her house was well and well stocked. We yakked for hours, and also, discussed her plans when her day comes. Odd, but we've discussed "death", but never what her wishes really are before. Now we have. Tonight, I will remember to hug those I love living, and let those I cannot hug know that I love them as well. Tonight, I will remember those that have passed, and hope that thier wishes were met well. Tonight, I will remember that when a loved one passes, I have a responsibility to make sure those wishes be met also. Take care goofs and friends.....:)
