Tuesday a week ago (July 5) a good friend of ours, who is an electrician, hired a new employee. On Friday, July 8 as they were loading up the truck to call it a day, this new employee dropped to the ground with a massive heart attack and died. He was only 54 years old and, by all appearances, was healthy.
No CPR; nothing, would have prevented it. No complaints of pain during the day; nothing out of the ordinary to clue anyone in that something out of all realm of imagination was to happen at that particular moment in time. He had no warning, nor did the men who spent 9 hours around him have any warning of what was to come.
As often posted here...Tomorrow is not guaranteed to anyone.
Sometimes we are blessed (or burdened) with a warning, other times we are not. When our chosen paths are sent down a detour, it doesn't mean we hit the breaks and call it a day. Instead, we should be thankful we were given those moments and not just stopped in our tracks.
Folks, we have to live life as if it's our last moment...no regrets, no unanswered questions, no unspoken words.
Live right, love with our whole hearts, forgive when it seems foolishness to do so, carry no burdens and rejoice in each precious moment. Tell those we love how much we love them, even when they are being unlovable...and know they love us even when WE are unlovable.
Even if we do these things and live to be 125 years old, what is the worst that could happen? We live in love, peace and without regrets? I think we can all handle that.
Recent events have rekindled these feelings and they have burst into flames in me. I'm passionate about how I live my moments, knowing, the next breath isn't guaranteed.
Embrace life and all the blessings you have; regardless...
Thank you for allowing me a "heart post" instead of the normal story.
