No Regrets!
On March 1st 2010 I lost a very important person in my life.
My Grandpa Jim gave in to his battle with cancer. I do not say he lost this battle, because He fought harder than anyone I know. I truly believe he decided it was his time. He didn’t want to be sick anymore. But I admire him and his strengths, you NEVER knew he was sick, because He NEVER complained. He loved bowling, golfing and painting race cars and signs, and he continued to do the things he loved right up until the end.
Phil and I were on our Anniversary/Valentines date when we decided who better to visit than 2 of the people we love the most in this world. That would be our last visit with him. It was a great visit, and Phil says he’s glad that was our last visit, because it was so meaningful, and was from our hearts. Well he’s more optimistic than I am right now, you see I felt a very faint tug to go visit them that very morning, and I had also been meaning to call the last few days, I always put things off because I think “it’s not a good time”, or “I’m to busy”. Had I have listened to that still small voice, I may have gotten to see him one last time. I’m tired of having regrets. I need to start listening fir the voice of God more and more, and stop blowing Him off.
Please Lord help me to be slow to listen for your still small voice. Stop me in my tracks Lord when I need to hear from you! Remind me to take more time for my family and true friends, so that I may have NO regrets!
Welcome to my blog. Here you will find me open and honest, in the raw. Sometimes deep, sometimes funny, sometimes joyful,sometimes sorrowful, but all of the time real! Please feel free to comment and/or follow my blog. Thank You so much for visiting....it truly means so much to me!
I'm so sorry to hear Grandpa won't be with you any longer here on Earth.
ReplyDeleteThis was such a great reminder to slow down so I, too, can minimize the regrets. I heard someone say that time is the renewable resource that is until it runs out. I thought that was really meaningful on a lot of levels.
Glad to connect with you!
