Some people are brought into our lives to test us, some are brought to heal, some to teach and some MAKE us learn...even if what they're saying isn't what we THINK we want to hear at the time.
It's just too convenient to meet the "right" person who tells you the "right" thing at the "right" time. And maybe, just maybe, this blog post will be the "right" timing for someone out there.
I hate it when I go to funerals and there's almost always that one person who is inconsolable. And then you find out that that one person said/did/whatever it was to the deceased and never had a chance to make amends.
My husband's grandmother had a brother that she fought with. No one could remember the reason for the argument but they never spoke. Years went by without correspondence. And then he died. She flew to Arizona to say goodbye and attend his funeral. My husband's grandma was THAT person. But then, on her flight home, she developed a blood clot in her leg, it moved to her brain. The day after getting off of the plane she woke up, went downstairs, sat in her rocking chair and died.
Now, I'm not saying if you don't mend fences today you're going to die...that's not the point at all. But wouldn't it be nice to be able to say all of the good things that people remember at funerals and wakes to the person while they're still alive.
Life is too short. People need to realize when they've made mistakes, suck it up, apologize and learn from it.
Maybe you're mad at me for writing this...but think. Is this what you really needed to hear right now?
