I had an epiphany this morning. Sorting through my grandmother's jewelery (that passed away in 2003) that my mom just recently gave to me, I found a purple watch. This watch, for someone reason, was what my grandmother was thinking of in her last days- she wanted me to go over to house and see if I wanted it. I was a punk, and I should have just said I loved it and gone up to the hospital wearing it- but, I didn't want more "stuff". Well, it's finally with me now. I do love this watch for that reason, and now that I've matured, I won't be a punk. I think I'll wear it today in her memory. I love her and I miss her. As endearing and sentimental as that is, it made me think more about what we focus on and think of in our last days of this life- if we even have such an opportunity.
I want to be thinking of ideas, passing on knowledge, I want to be making sure my children and grandchildren are living their life well, dreaming, and doing everything they dreamed of in this life. I want to remind them of the hereafter. This means, I better get to work learning and doing those things I want to pass on.
