A Split Second
This last Saturday a co-worker was ‘taken’ from his wife and family. In a motorcycle accident with his wife he was given a split second to decide what he valued more the life of his wife or his own. Investigators say the way he landed the bike virtually saved her life.
A split second.
I briefly knew Steve, however, I respected him and the way he treated everybody he worked with. All day Sunday Anthony and I talked about just two days before seeing him in the office grabbing a cup of coffee.
A split second.
If given a split second I fear I would beg to not be ripped from the embrace of my family, to make the reality of how precious our lives are not so harsh. Have I done everything I needed, said everything that should have been said, will everyone in my life know exactly what they mean to me and how blessed I am to know them
A split second.
If we lived our lives for every ‘split second’ would things be different, or would fear engulf and keep us from actually living?
The life of a Pitbull - Ty
My hips have found a sway to them I thought Id lost
I try to stay focused on things I thought were goals
But I find silly adventures with him more enticing
I can see in his eyes he loves to hear me read
He watches me in the bath like every time is the first time seeing me
He still kisses me like he misses me
He refuses to let his scars affect our joy
He patiently waits for my storms to pass
Every day I wonder if I could possibly love him more tomorrow
And every day I answer “apparently I can”
Ive found passion in the most random accomplishments
We giggle in the mornings and hold each other at night
Ive embraced my bipolar existence as long as he rides shotgun
He tells me we’re getting there and I think “it gets better?”
