Love Your Beloved... You Never Know How Much Time You Have Together

I rarely post anything personal on this blog but today is an exception.

I just returned from a very difficult trip to my home town to visit with my brother who has been suffering with cancer over the last few years. His days are limited, and the world is about to lose one of the most beautiful of souls ever to grace this planet.

And, his wife of only three years is about to lose her incredible husband.

It is these very difficult times in life, when we remember what is really important. What is important is not our home, our position, our possessions; it is not who wins a fight, who has picked up the laundry or taken out the trash.

What is important is our loved ones.

To all my readers, please take a minute to remind yourself how much you love your beloved. Take the time to express how deeply you care; how grateful you are, and how important your love and relationship is.

Ponder for just a moment how you would feel if you knew you only had a few days or weeks together.

Laugh together. Enjoy each other. Cherish one another.

Let go of the unimportant. Renew your commitment. Deepen the intimacy.

More than anything.... love.

"Let go of the unimportant". That is the best of advice.
It took a trauma last year to open my heart and eyes as well as my husband's and we are seeing each other through genuine love. Sorry to hear about your brother and my heart goes out to your sister-in-law.

I am so sorry to hear of your brother's illness. How difficult it must be to feel him slipping away... Sadness. Loss. Thank you for letting us open our hearts to you, and using your own grief to remind us of what's important.

Clients have told me how much they treasured those last months, or days, of their relationship as their partner approached his or her end-time. It had become a powerful time of sharing, with more intimacy than ever before. Hearing that, I realized how important it is to take the time to, as you say, express our love, appreciate our beloved, now. Today, tonight. Let's not wait for tragedy to remind us.

This is a great site that you have here. I look forwarding to reading some more sometime in the future. I have a debate site myself that I would like you to check out when you get the chance. I would love to hear some of your thoughts on some controversial topics. Keep up the good work. Jason

p.s. maybe we can do a link exchange or something

What a heartbreaking situation. Thank you for sharing. It's a really lovely way to think of time with others: if there was only a week to spare.

Dating is something that people tend to do for various reasons which can be for fun or for some one who is seriously looking for a partner in life, in such a case why not look into something that can be truly genuine like the one i did .
