Learning How To Say Goodbye
Two weeks
Left to say I love you
14 days left
To hold you
336 hours
Left to watch as you sleep
20,160 minutes
Left to breathe in the air that fills my lungs and enjoy the smallest moments
Do you ever think about the way the wind hits your face?
The way the laughter sounds from the bellies of the kids you created?
The most beautiful moments in the silence of a stillfull night
The sounds of people you love sleeping
Watching them as they drift into a sleepful peace
Wondering how you could ever leave?
Do you ever think about the touch of their skin/face and the little details of their eyes, chin, nose?
How you long to watch them smile
Hear them talk and listen to their wonderful voice?
How do you measure every single precious moment you have lived up too?
If you had two weeks left to live, how would you celebrate/cherish the time you were given.
How would you enjoy every second knowing that death awaits
How do you say I never want to leave you, but I have to.
Our time comes eventually, it’s easy to think, this will never happen to me.
But your time comes, rather slowly or in a quick moment.
No time should pass without the given opportunity to say I love you & hold your love ones closely.
Slow the busy- slow down for one moment
Breathe one deep breathe
Be thankful, that you don’t have only two weeks left to live.
