I just heard from a former client who took some time off earlier this year to be with her young daughter who they learned had cancer. I did not have the details except she was at Sick Kids. I just heard she passed away. 12 years old with Hodgkin’s lymphoma. Oh my gosh that touched my heart. That just wasn’t supposed to happen. I know whom am I to say that. Life is so fragile and should never be taken for granted. I am feeling upset because of my situation. Puts it all in perspective. I can only imagine what it is like to say goodbye to a 12 year old daughter. I know we have a purpose here and that is the mystery with spirit. You just never know who comes into your life and what impact they have. I had conversations about New Brunswick, family and work with her mom. What would be next for her career – it seems so small now compare to what she is going through. Thank you for reminding me how vulnerable life is and how precious we have to take each moment. Thank you. There is a strange sense of gratitude that comes through and grounded ness. Put aside ego, wants, etc... and focus on what is really important. Ok the living doesn’t have to be renovated today or tomorrow. It will happen.
