I admittedly went back and forth on posting this. But in the end felt it couldn’t hurt a thing. As many of you know I lost my daughter Natalie a couple weeks ago. I’d lost a daughter previously and prayed I’d never have to contend with that again. It’s beyond brutal. Totally unexpected and frankly I’m still reeling. Our entire family is. Anyone interested can view Natalie’s obituary online at the Columbia Daily Tribune obituaries. She was a special, loving soul
The point of my post is pretty straightforward. If you have children. Even grown and on their own don’t take things for granted. Try your level best to let them know as often as possible that you love them. Sounds simple and easy. But we all get into our daily routines. Sometimes days can easily slip into a couple weeks. I honestly was pretty diligent about it. But I know folks who aren’t. They make the dreadful mistake of assuming there’s always going to be time. I can tell your from painful experience that’s simply not the case. It can all come to a crashing end in an instant. Family is everything. Don’t let your priorities get clouded. I’m not trying to preach. Quite the contrary. I’m trying to help. If you have a loved one you might a little or even a lot overdue in reaching out to for gods sake do it. You won’t regret it. It’s always the right thing to do. Don’t just assume they know you love them. Tell them
Okay. Thanks again once and for all to all who reached out to me. Via the forum or privately. It was all appreciated guys. That’s an understatement. Take care. Steve
