I’ve been in two minds about doing a post today. It’s been a day of contemplation so I’ll keep this short.
My family received news of a relative’s passing yesterday. Someone taken before their time. Someone I was once closer to. Someone I wish I was still in touch with. Someone I feel I should have been there for more. Even if it meant I tried and tried to get through to them without succeeding.
In the end, all that is left is the ‘what ifs’, seeking answers, and the memories. Hoping their young kids are looked after and recover from this tragedy.
I don’t know who actually reads these things. I don’t know what is going on in people’s lives. I don’t know who needs to hear this. All I can say is please talk. Don’t isolate yourself. You are not alone. Please know there are people here that love you. That would love to help if you need. Even if it’s a shoulder to cry on or for someone to listen.
The last few weeks I’ve been worked up about many things. All of these worries are insignificant to what is most important. Life. We are here to live. And to support others to live. Forget the small stresses in life, no one will remember those stresses in time.
If anyone would like to talk, please feel free to reach out to me. I will do my very best to give you my time.
Gosh, I dislike Januarys. I’ll be glad to see the end of this month.
