It’s al about perspective

So yesterday I was annoyed at my fmil for something wedding related then fh and I were bickering about honeymoon itinerary. Then while I was at work I got a message that I had sort of been anticipating but is devastating none the less. My cousins are putting their 10 year old on hospice today after a long battle with cancer. They’ve exhausted all options medical and non medical, he has days to a couple weeks left. God I feel awful for taking my fh for granted and being annoyed with my fmil. Then two different patients in my place of work received horrific diagnosis. On the anniversary of 9/11, I just can’t stop thinking about how anything can happen to anyone of us at any time.

What really matters is our loved ones- be your family and/or friends. RSVP faux paus, bridal party or vendor issues while yes annoying are nothing in the scheme of things. Let them know you love them- if you’re not a say it out loud person- show them in your actions. My heart is broken for my patients families and my cousins right now and I can’t wait until my fh gets home so I can put my arms around him and forget the insignificant things.

This is a great message. Sometimes it's too easy to lose sight of what's important in life, I know I'm guilty of it too. What's important is being able to recognize when we've done so and appreciate all we have in life to be thankful for. I'm so sorry to hear about your cousins and I hope you and your family are able to come together in this difficult time. Wishing you the best for your upcoming wedding as well!

This is such a great point. I read something last night to the effect of "On this night, 9/10 2001, people were going to sleep with their loved ones not knowing it would be the last time they would ever get to. Don't take your life for granted."
It made me want to cry and completely forget about whatever FH and I had been fighting about and just hold him. He or I or anyone else could be gone in an instant. We have to cherish all we have and remember that our problems we encounter when planning are temporary.

Well said Bridget!! I'm so sorry for what your family is going through.
We all need to remember that tomorrow is promised to no one. We have to live in the now, and cherish our loved ones. You never know when that opportunity will go away.
I know this morning I hugged my granddaughter extra long, and said a silent prayer of thanks, for her and all the rest of my loved ones. I'm so grateful for them!!
And I'm grateful to all the men and women here on WW! I'm so happy I found you all! Making all these friends on WW has been an unexpected pleasure, and I wish all of you happiness and joy!!

You're so very right. Especially today as we commemorate 9/11, I remember that others have it way worse than me. Sending hugs
