I sent a note to my 91 year old Uncle Don today…. His wife, my Aunt Gladys, died two years ago tomorrow. She was a very special woman, full of life–always made things more fun when she was around. Anyway, here was my Uncle Don’s sweet response to the note:
“Tomorrow will be two years that she went to Heaven. I sure do miss her. Sometimes I think she has to be somewhere in this house. People will say ‘you sure had her a long time’, but they don’t realize that I wanted her longer. I will admit we were very fortunate to have lived together for a little more than 68 years.”
How sweet is that? How easy is it to take today for granted, assuming we have those dearest to us for years to come, when tomorrow is not guaranteed?
May we all be that in love with our spouse, today and years down the road if we are so blessed…. Thank you, Uncle Don, for the dear reminder.
