Sorry about your Grandma, I read it on Ling's LJ comment to Rachael. I dunno, I've been thinking a lot about my Grandpas lately, and how my mom's dad died when I was 7, and my dad's when I was 14, so I never really got to know them as an adult, or even really at all. Still, the memories I have are very valuable. Sure, everyone gets torn away, but speaking as someone who's endured a lot of family deaths, it's better to have known them than not at all. Try and hang on to all the good stuff because yes, it totally does matter what we do in this life. However short a time we're here, we always have an effect on those around us, as I'm sure your Grandma had on you. Feel better.
It does matter. Life is for experiencing things, yes, but creating positive experiences is what is important. Death IS inevitable but that should never deter one to look forward to the future.
We’re not promised tomorrow. We don’t know that we’re going to wake up in the morning, and we don’t know that the ones we love will either. I want to stop living like I know what’s going to happen - like I’m the one in control of this whole deal. I want to quit wasting time. I don’t ever want to take the time I have with people for granted. I never want to miss a day of saying “I love you”. I don’t care what the circumstances are that day - I have to remind the ones I love, that I infact do. I don’t want to spend another day cooped up inside my house…I want to get out there and make the fact that I’m still alive count for something. I don’t care if the only thing it counts for is someone gets a smile that probably wouldn’t have that day. I don’t want to ignore God another day.
I just want to fulfill my purpose. I just want everyone to know that they are loved…and that there’s something out there that’s worth living for.
