there are people we meet that make us cry, and then there are the ones that make us laugh...it's strange to think that essentially it is the people in our lives that rule our emotions.
about a year ago i was in the hospital because i overdosed on drugs...the story doesn't matter but the fact that i am still here does. anyhow, there was a woman that i shared a room with and even though she impacted my life in a way that no one else really has i cannot remember her name!! the love of her life, duncan had just passed away from cancer...she cared for him the whole time, refusing to use hospice. on the day he passed they layed down for a nap side by side...in the same bed they had shared many intimate moments many times before. when she awoke, she was alone...the silent souless body of her beloved soulmate lay beside her...and there she weeped & begged & pleaded that what she was seeing was only a dream...that if she screamed and cried loud enough god himself would wake her. however, it was no dream...precious duncan's life was taken & she held his cold body against hers for the last time. she layed with him for hours...pherhaps, waiting for some sign of life to resurface or pherhaps to just remeber what he felt like in her arms.
once they finally took the body she layed in that bed for months...immobilized by the pain. realtiy can be a feared enemy under the right circumsatnces.
you see before duncan she was married to her high school sweetheart, a man she thought she shared true love with. she spent many years with him before she realized he really didnt care for her at all...it wasnt until she met duncan that she realized the meaning & rarity of true love. duncan was diagnosed 3 months after they met...and he passed 6 months after that.
here i was lying in a hospital bed, recovering from a selfish overdose, thinking to myslef was it an angel that sent her & her remarkble story of struggle and loss? i guess at that moment the beauty of life occured to me. how could i be so blind??? i knew that i was somebody's duncan & i wasnt sure why the thought hadnt even crossed my mind prior to.
life is a beautiful gift, embrace it & love it...learn from the past & the present....dont look for the bad or worry about the things that could happen...just live for the moment & the rest will follow!

A very cool story Gigisimone. Living life for the moment is the only way to go. So many people live in the past or future and can't focus on the right now which is really all that matters.
