Many lessons!

Today was a day of many lessons!  My husband has been very ill, so I had to take a sick day to be able to take him to the doctor.  Since I did that, I was able to take my daughter to school…on the way there she told me how much she loved me taking her to school, and that when daddy is sick, he’s not allowed to take her to school.  She wanted me to be in the classroom too, which at her school all the parents do once a month, but I haven’t done it yet, since my husband takes on that role.  Then I took my husband to the hospital as he needed a lot of tests to see what’s actually going on with him.  I was sitting on the transplant floor of the hospital(since my husband had a kidney transplant a few years ago this is where we go)… I’m sitting there seeing people just clinging to a second chance at life, we were that family once I realized, then it came to me…this is it, this is what life is all about.   Oh yes, I will complain or lose track on what’s important, but I need to bring myself back to this moment.  The moment where we’re sitting in a waiting room, not knowing if my husband has the flu, an infection, or a reaction…and saying, we have this once life to live, and we’re worried about WHAT?  So two lessons for me today, once in a while, take that day or hour to take or pick up your child from school.  Some people have the privilege of doing that even with full time jobs, I’m not one of those people, so I need to learn from this lesson.  Second lesson, life is precious, live it…and appreciate it!  I am grateful for these lessons today!
