Happy Sunday!

This week I wanted to talk about something that’s a little depressing, but also empowering if you choose to view it that way.

My parents are visiting this week from Kansas.

They tend to get out here about once a year, and we tend to get back there once a year.

Often, when one thinks about the people in their life and the time they get to spend with them (and with ourselves), they think in years.

For example, if the average person dies around 85 (I’m just making these numbers up) and your mom or dad is 75, you might think “I’ve probably got 10 years with them.”

That seems like a pretty long time.

But that’s not exactly true.

If those facts were true with my parents, and we meet twice a year, we don’t have 10 years left, we have ONLY 20 MORE VISITS LEFT.

Ever.

And, I’m not going to lie, just writing that out hits REALLY hard.

The point?

First, take the time to spend with the people you care about.

Second, spend that time enjoying them.

All the other stuff will still be there. But some day, the people you care about won’t.

Have a great week!
