Understanding My Current Situation
I’ve been going through a lot of stuff lately. Every time I find myself contemplating my existence. Then I go back to trying to live life. Back to normal I guess. But for some reason this time, it’s really stuck to me. The things that I’m leaving behind. What is my legacy? I’m not looking at materialistic things. It’s more, did I teach my children things that they will take with them. Will they remember me? Will they say that they knew their mother?
I started to think back about all the things I’ve given them. The time we spent together. I wanted to make it something they will remember. So, I decided to start a journal and write down the times that meant so much to us. And also the share a little bit of how I feel about them. I’m working on this now.
How do we ever impart the love in our hearts? That’s what it is about to me. I’ve gone through years raising my children where I wonder, will they know? I have had to work so many hours, how will they know, I’d rather sit under the Sun with them? So I give it up to God, and you know, I think, love must have it’s own timeless language.
Blessings to you.
Your statement Mark, is truly a powerful one. I spoke with my cousin who told me he met up with a few old friends from jr. high school. He hasn’t seen them since then. He showed one of the guys how to skate. He showed another how use nunchucks. Because of their little time together, the skater became a professional skater and the guy with the nunchucks a 3rd degree black belt.
My cousin never realized what impact he had on their lives. But the small time he spent with them, brought something into their lives that stayed.
We truly never realize who we touch or what impact they will have.
The journal is an excellent idea. The truth is we touch so many and have such a bigger impact then we ever realize.
