I’m sad for your niece and family. Your message is clear and poignant. I came to the same conclusion about a month ago. Time is linear for most but in fact it is only the the moments that count. It does run out and oftentimes sooner than we could ever imagine. Thank you for posting such a heartfelt message. I am sure it will inspire other “to do”.My nieces husband died this morning in his sleep.
47 years old and had the widowmaker heart attack
Alive one day
Gone at 4:30 CST.
I imagined i would go first after exposure to carcinogenic,mutogenic and radiation through my career as a lorry driver for over 20 years
Plant explosions,exposure to chlorine gas during rescue of fellow co worker a a plant..close calls sundry and varied.
His arc is done. No more travels with this mortal coil.
The point is
Dont wait. Dont hesitate,procrastinate,deviate....go..and do
You may never have the chance to do this again
You may end your arc today
Tommorow..next week...
Put this on your front burner,you may never have a chance like now. If your serious,go ahead.
He will forever be 47..you...will be forever ?
A Kiwi Family said in the other post. In general
Who will wonder who you were
What you were
Where you hae been
My clue will be dust from A 500 mile road
What will your legacy be?
There is sorrow for the loss,he lived fully and then he moved on.
We will move on..
Santiago awaits patiently and will see us in this life and ask gently as to why we dont come see him sooner.
Or later and embrace us in welcome,whomever we are and irregardless of who we were and smile
"Ive been expecting you"!
Dont wait on the sidelines Peregrino
Dont watch life pass you by
Grab your loins and put them in your sticking place
Get your walking shoes,your cane and your little bag and fly while the wind is strong in your wings
Take the rising tide and go out into the blue while the courage is hot and giddy in your breast
Grasp this life in hands not yet made weak by time and place and shake it till fruits come raining down
Dont wait,hesitate or procrastinate
You have this much time given to do what your going to do,
That hours glass we keep flipping in the extravagance of youth will one day be set
Go Pilgrim
GO!
I have a heart condition too,i wasnt kidding when i mentioned i expected to go first. Wolf-Parkinson-White syndrome. I had a proceedure that burnt the nerve that was the cause of my irregular heart beat..it was.. UGHHHHH i tell ya when it occured.Hola @William Garza . I am not really sure what to say. Heart issues either have no symptoms or lots! We ignore or accept at our peril.
To you and your niece and extended family much sympathy. Hopefully the supreme one will be looking down on you (and them) and will care for you all in the coming days and weeks.

I appreciate the condolences. I visited my niece about an hour ago. Time will heal all the rough road she must travel,yet they are to be traveled to reach the place where the broken places are mended and the stages are done.
The illusion that we think that things are permanent adds to the spice of life. Deep down in the unknowing soul is the truth..and it remembers it all..that which we forget in childhoods innocence
I will carry a second stone to the Cruz..to which the journey which goes past it more relevant.
Like the Way, i have seen as you my Way-farers...have seen people along the way who travel with us for such a short while then turn away toward a different path..sometimes we miss thier parting and we have memories of them,chemical reactions and electrical impulses and we hear their voice,remember a sensation of what they would have smelled like,
Echoes of laughter and echoes of voices
We walk on as is proper and right to do for we are the living and food,drink and companionship are things the living do as we stave off the inevitable dark.
Walking is a catharsis once you have gone away from the troubles of the coils
Walk far and hard enough and the problems take back seat to the sovreign precedence of breathing,drinking water and a place to lay the head emptied of the worry that makes you weary
Walk enough and your ego shrivels before the enormity of what life really is
Walk some more and the burdens drop as the heart grows quiet
And in the end you find peace if your lucky enough to empty yourself,listen to the quiet and wait to hear what it is saying
Then you may understand Santiago and why his arms are open in welcome.
Dont waste time Peregrino
If you are not now,harbor the hope so that someday soon you will be
The ends...justify the Journey
