I am always amazed at the ability to stay calm when needed… As I entered my parents home and saw my mother slumped over on the couch, semi conscious and sweating profusely I thought “she’s having a heart attack”
My father and I were very calm as I called 911 for help…

As we both sat in the waiting room of the ED, thoughts flashed before me… Looking at my dad, I knew it would just be a matter of time that I would have to deal with the reality of loosing one of them.

As the hours passed and the uncertainty of what had happened was unknown, I found myself still calm yet filled with emotion.

I’ve come to realize over the years I tend to over react over small insignificant issues more than larger issues. Not sure why, but I am certainly thankful for being able to keep my composure when faced with a major adversity…

Mom is still in the ED with no diagnosis insight.

As I take a deep breath… And breathe in and out consciously, going into another day, I know over the next several months and years my life is about to change forever…

That’s life and I am reminded about those two days a year I can’t do anything about, yesterday and tomorrow!

Today, I will open my gift once again…
By Living in the PRESENT…

In Awe of living life filled with Love and Wonder…
