one year…

Justin and I spent a lot of time together this past year traveling the world, seeing new things, helping other people… more than usual.  We had a life experience that pushed us to realize that life’s a little too short to “wait” for the “right” time to do the important things we love and care about.

A year ago today, Justin mom’s died peacefully in her sleep for no reason. ”No reason” for someone leaving this earth can be a hard thing to take or to grasp.   You realize that although you can try and plan your life as best as you can, you’re not in control of the universe.  And because I don’t know when it will be my last day, Justin’s last day, my mom’s last day…… it’s important to take extra time with them doing the things that are important to us.

It was so great to read Jasmine Star’s post from yesterday (http://www.jasminestarblog.com) because that’s exactly where my heart & mind was at!

Today, why don’t you take some extra time with someone YOU love, doing something you LOVE to do, because you never know when your time together will be cut short!

This post is dedicated to Mom Driedger :)
