Friends and Dieing

As you may know, I have stage 4 cancer and now feel that my time for transition is really upon me.   So I wanted to have you think about those you know that may be very ill or be in that position some day, that includes you. 

A year ago I told some of my friends, those that don't live near me that I wasn't sure I'd live to see the end of 2012, actually the Dr. didn't think I'd make it past 2010 and for sure 2011.  But here I am.  But that's not my message.

My message is that if you have someone you care about that is seriously ill DON'T ignore them.   Some of my friends haven't called once during this past year.  Someone told me it was probably due to their discomfort about death.  So if you are uncomfortable and don't stay in touch remember you will never have another opportunity to talk, laugh, cry or say you love them once they are gone.  You might get notified that they have past or you won't know for months.  

How would you feel if you knew you were going to die, not sure of the exact date but knew death was coming--would you want to be ignored by people you have cared about and loved?????  I feel that they really don't care even though they post differently on social media.

Even if you connect once a month they will feel you care--not a call in a year says otherwise--at least that might be how they see or feel it to be.

Connect--it will be your last chance to love and care.

Blessing
In Love & Light
