Time ...

Seems to be the one thing I have struggled to manage lately.  Often too little and I wonder why we are never happy as it passes too quickly or slowly.

Austin’s numbers are still very good, hemoglobin is at 14.7 – the highest yet, platelets are still running high but we took the last dose of steroids on Monday and I’m wondering if that will help them drop.

Time still weighs heavy on my mind lately as I prepare for a couple of good-byes.

Judy from the lake will be missed dearly, I would have never imagined last September that I would not be seeing your smiling face this summer. Visitation at the funeral home will be today and like any time like this I falter in what to say, only hope I’ll find the right words to express my sympathy. 

Tomorrow we’ll say good-bye to Carri. Her time with us was far too short, thankful that Carri packed so much into what little time she had with us.  I’m hoping it will be a true celebration of her life, her spirit.

I’ve decided that time is just not something that can be micro-managed. There are only 24 hours in each and every day and what will be important is that during that time I do what matters. I do what I can, when I can, and accept that there will be moments that I’ll be unable to do all that I may want to do.

Today is important because none of us truly know if we will see tomorrow. So please, spend your time wisely. Find something to laugh about today, find someone to hug and share your love.
