I wasn't going to come in here and discuss this past wake I've been to on Tuesday....but the more I thought about it,the more it made some sense..
I'm the type of person that once something enters my head...forget it...I have to let it all out now.
At first I thought..."ok,another friend of mine has died".....but now I'm looking at it a little differently...another person that has touched me has moved to a better place...their deed is done and now God has other plans for them....I have another guardian angel...how lucky I am,huh?
She was an older lady I grew to know and love back in my old job..she was already retired now...married,had kids....lived alone for a few more years...her husband had died a few years back..was never happy with him,stayed together because of her kids...all those familiar things .
We kept in contact by sending birthday ,Christmas ,and St. Patrick's day cards...it was nice. She told me she was going to re-marry...I was floored. She was having a little ceremony in church,the same time I was scheduled to work...never went but sent her my best....we were suppose to get together for lunch....it never happened....now she's gone.
It really pisses me off that life is like this...we're always so busy with life..always thinking that you have more time.."later" ..."I'll do it later"..."I'm too tired right now,maybe next week"...."I've been driving all day,I'm not going anywhere now"....ugh
Her kids thought she was crazy getting married again with an old friend of hers..."Mom,you're too old for this,don't you think?" She was lonely and this man treated her like a princess. He had a crush on her for such a long time...why not? they were only married for a couple months,maybe 4 months if that? But they were the best days of her life..
You see,it doesn't matter how old you are or what your circumstances are..it's never to late. Live your life...NOW! Don't wait until tomorrow,it may never come..and then what?
Happy St.Patrick's Day..Mary Simpson....even though it's a bit early....I love you and know you were happy the last days of your life....thank you for enriching my heart and soul
