Life is fragile and fleeting. One minute all is well. The next moment nothing will ever be the same again. The world changes in a heart beat. This moment, right here and now, is the only one guaranteed to us.
In this moment, I choose love. In choosing love, I reach out to those who matter to me. I surround myself with the people that I love, with those who love me.
I reach out and call someone, spending an hour on the phone. All is forgiven. I love you still.
I walk into someone's arms in the store. Holding tight to them. I have missed you. I love you.
I make a date for lunch, catching up for hours over soup and salad. I haven't forgotten you. I love you.
I listen to songs sung from an aching heart, meant to soothe my own aches. We don't grieve alone. I am here for you. I love you.
Texts, phone calls, visits. Tea dates and brownies. You matter to me. I will love you always. You are one of my people.
You have held me up when I wasn't strong enough to stand alone. You have fed me chocolate. You have drank tea with me. You have laughed with me and cried with me. You have checked up on me. You have listened to my anger, to my sorrow, to my fears. You have given me a safe space to sit with my emotions. In surrounding me with love, you have helped me to choose love.
If this moment is all that is guaranteed to me, than in this moment I will reach out to all of those who have touched my life and my heart to say I see you. I hear you. You matter to me.
Your love sustains me.
From now through the end of time, never doubt my love for you.
