Reminders that come with all too frightening speed that those we love (or ourselves) may be facing a life threatening event, or may be gone tomorrow, or even today.
In the words of a song sung by our favorite son, Garth Brooks, "if tomorrow never comes, will (they) know how much I love them"......
.and have I done all that I can do to express that love by making things easy on those I love, if the life threatening or ending event happens to me? Are my wishes in writing, are the people who need to know my wishes informed as to what there are and where to find documentation?
Tough conversations to have to be sure, but acts of love to do beforehand, so that those we love do not have unnecessary pain added if something happens to us.....and conversations to have so that if we are the ones with the decisions that we know what our loved one wants so that we can carry out their wishes in love as well.
And one of the most loving things of all.......Wear your seatbelt, insist that others in your car wear them, put children in child safety, and booster seats, and make sure that they are working properly.........
