A weekend of work and testing to make sure it safe !!

One time I met a man
Who only had a month to live
And I asked him if he had
Any advice that he could give

He said “I wake each morning
Knowing I am going to die
So each day must remind me
I am blessed to be alive

You see, my life’s on countdown
As each hour is unfurled
I know the clock is ticking
On my time here in this world

But what you’re overlooking
Is that it’s the same for you -
You know that I am dying
But forget that you are too

So make the most of sunshine
And go dancing in the rain
And sing a little louder
When your favourite music plays

Notice nature’s colours,
Savour everything you taste
Stop waiting for tomorrow
‘Cause you’ve got no time to waste

And could you say convincingly
That you’d have no regrets?
If just the next few days or weeks
Were all that you had left?”

And then my breath caught quickly
When he turned to me and asked
“Could you say that you died happy
If this day had been your last?”

Empty and quiet. The one part of motherhood I never anticipated or thought about until I had older children.

The emptiness and stillness after everyone leaves.

I waited and waited and counted the days until everyone was here for Thanksgiving.

They came. The house was full. My heart was even fuller. It nearly burst with joy.

Then, just like that. It’s over. It’s quiet. The seats are empty again.

When they’re little, you just want a quiet house. When they’re older, the loud sounds of laughing and carrying on is everything.

Strange how that works, isn’t it?

It’s just the way life is, I guess.

I’m so grateful to have this though. To have young adult kids that I want to spend time with. I enjoy them. I like them and not just love them. It’s a gift for sure.

As I sit in the quiet right now, I will wipe the tears and anticipate the next time we are all together under one roof, knowing that even though it’s not an everyday occurrence anymore, the times we have are special.

Life is truly a gift. People are the greatest gifts. Thank you, Lord for a house that’s full and even when it’s empty, I carry them in my heart.
