Last year before my surgery I sat in my dining room and taped myself singing my kids their individual songs. Yes, I have a special song for each child that I have sung to them since they were babies. Not knowing if I would make it through the surgery, or what I would sound like afterwards, I wanted them to always have that as a memory from me.
Every week I left for Boston, I wrote my childrenand Stephen each notes for the week telling them how much I loved them for who they were in their unique ways.
Today as I left my parents in NC I left them a note filled with my love and gratitude for them.
I invite you to join me today to...
Pause. Breathe. Pray.
May we not wait until the edge or end of something to express our love towards one another. Let’s be sure to sing the songs, write the notes, make the phone calls, and speak love to one another while we have the privilege to do so.
With love and hope,
Shawn
