As I type I am welling up with tears because it was so heartfelt. She said, "At the end of the day and at the end of your life, the most important things you will ever know are the relationships that you have been so LUCKY to be blessed with". Wow...really changed my whole life...and how much my relationships mean to me.
Maybe it's a combination of a few "years on the tires" and MANY life experiences that have also brought me to this understanding...but whatever it is, I feel it in my soul and know it to be true!
My wish for you...is that you also know how LUCKY you are to have the relationships you do in your life! And how LUCKY your relationships are to have you!
As one of my dear girlfriend's fathers used to say (while toasting),
"Here's to you and here's to me...
May you live to be 1,000 years old...
May I live to be 1,000 years old minus one day
for I would't want to be on this earth knowing you'd passed away".
