Life is full of surprises.............. a tiny abnormality on a test, a very observant doctor............two tests later = 4 days= hospital = icu = major surgery.
All is on the mend now, but when you are told by every physician that sees you, you are lucky to be alive, it is an eye opener, in some ways a life changing experience.
Cherish your family, your mate, your spouse, the love of your life. You never know when it will end. I have always cherished him, he has always cherished me, but it is different now, even more intense.
In the 5 days I have not been home, the weeds have exploded, the grass needs mowing, the house needs care. It will be another week before I am home again, all will wait.
Who cares, the only thing important is this man that is sleeping now, in the bed next to my chair, on the road to recovery.
My pup went to a wonderful neighbor, another wonderful neighbor installed our two new bee hives (the bees arrived saturday) .
They answered my call for help without hesitation. What more could you ask of neighbors. We have always helped them, treated them like we would want to be treated. They dropped obligations to take over for me. I would do the same for them, even before this happened, it is called being a neighbor, a friend, a human with a heart.
Enjoy your families, your life, your fiends, don't let little bumps in the road make you crash and burn, they too will smooth out.
