MOMENTS SUCH AS THESE

I am and have always been very independent. I moved out right after graduating and never turned back.. I moved out in June and my parents left that next March for Houston.. My parents and my sister live in Houston and the rest of my family live in Tennessee.. I always say how we need to get back there and visit but we have continued to live our life and  procrastinate. It's moments such as these you wish you had not procrastinated taking that trip to see your family.. When your phone is your only way to get updates via text.. Hearing a family member is basically dieing and all you can do is sit on the other end and pray... To get a text that your family member is now on a ventilater .... It's moments such as these you would do anything to be there.. To hug your family.. To be a shoulder to lean on and have a shoulder to lean on... When your cleaning and suddenly start crying ... When you sit and reflect on life and begin to feel alone...  It hurts... When your stomach is cringing and feels so empty..  It is moments such as these that make you realize the importance of family..

I sit and pray... pray the Lord doesn't take her.. It is moments such as these you know you need to be right where your heart is and that is with the family....

Much Love,
Jamie
