I have been summoned to Moose Jaw. Not to see my mother, who is failing, but rather to take my sister to see my mother. It is hard to know I will never be able to say good bye to my mom.
We never know when the end of our days is going to come. My mom will be 81 on the 18th of November, if she lives that long. My oldest brother Patrick was stillborn, he never had a day on this planet. My other brother Joseph had a day and a half. Gary had 18 years, Kelly had 31. We just never know.
We really need to live life in the now. I have trouble with that, as I worry about the future too often. I am working on it, but I know what I want, I simply do not know how to achieve it. Live for today, look to the future with calm and hope, and look to the past with acceptance and wisdom.
