Consider this: life isn’t fair.
Bad things happen to good people.
Rain will fall in our lives.
Failure can occur.
Sometimes life is more than fair.
Good things can happen to good people and can be better appreciated as a result of the bad things.
The sun can, and will, dry the rain.
Failure cannot occur without the decision to give up.
What you do from here is up to you.
Death—it’s also necessary. We use it to be more motivated, passionate, and happy. To be more appreciative of the time we have and the people we spend it with. It reminds us to live every precious moment and love all it has to offer.
Five years later and the author shares it stills hurts from losing his mother.
He shares if you still happen to be blessed enough to be able to touch your mom’s face, to hear your mother’s voice, go to her, call her, do whatever it takes. Hug her, kiss her, tell her you love her.
Every day is a blessing and every blessing a gift from God. Spend your blessings wisely.
D. Anthony is the author of The Nurse in the Delivery Room Slapped Me ... Once.
