Enjoying the Moments
So this morning, I wake up and snow is falling and I'm all nice and warm cuddled up with my husband. Now, I am supposed to get up an go to work for a 12 hour shift. But one of the things that I know I will miss if Buff dies, are moments just like these. Moments I have taken for granted even as I enjoyed them. So, I curled in, grabbed my book and read for another hour! I just loved being with Buff until our 7-year -old crawled in bed and said with great enthusiasm, " I'm ready for the day!!". Now, I am not a morning person but Thane was so cute and engaging that in my enjoy the moment moment, I got up and fixed him breakfast and listened to his very imaginative stories. So I got to get ready and go into work very content and with a smile on my face. Cancer sucks but it does cause a re-evaluation of priorities......

Robin,
ReplyDeleteI love this. You are teaching us all to savor the moments.
One of my favorite songs right now is "Live like we're Dying" by Kris Allen.
"We've only got 86,400 seconds in the day
to turn it all around or to throw it all away
gotta tell them that we love them while we got the chance to say
Got to live like we're dying."
Love you lots!!
(I love that song too, Michelle).
ReplyDeleteLove you Robin! Your words could not be more true! xoxoxo
Xoxoxo
ReplyDeleteI've always loved those moments of cuddling in the morning before the world knocks at you door.
You are dealing with this with such grace! We've only been going on three weeks of stuff and I am worn out. You are such an example to me.
How I love this! Live, Laugh, Love!
ReplyDeleteFirst of all, Buff ISN'T going to die!!! Do you remember Billy Joel's song "Only the Good Die Young" and I believe that Buff would be the first to tell you he hasn't been good (although Santa thought so)! LOL-tried so hard to make this a funny thought, but couldn't pull it off). So you see, he isn't going away! But I am all for more hugs, cuddling and closeness. Love your morning and I know that you have many more!
ReplyDeletePaige YOU ARE FUNNY!!
ReplyDeleteand you thought you weren't!
I laughed out loud at the Billy Joel reference. That song is one of my all time favorites. I didn't mean to imply that I thought Buff was going to... you know... just that we need to all live each moment to the fullest and savor every moment regardless.
So Buff, according to Paige (and Billy) you now have an excuse to go ahead and be a naughty boy!!!
