How lucky am I-
I have something beautiful and new over my heart!
This handsome guy is Nicholas William Raitt.
When Nicholas was pretty sick I struggled a lot with my past decisions. I never treated him as if he were 'sick', he was always just 'Nicholas'.
Then Nicholas was gone, and there was a hole, filled with many missed opportunities to be with him. I would give all the coconut frozen yogurt in the world to have those opportunities now. I was angry that I could ever take his time for granted, but how lucky am I, to have spent time with him at all. 1 year and a handful of months ago was the last time I heard his voice. Nicholas in all his goofy glory kinda sunk deep into my heart and changed me forever.
But I can't have one more day with him.
& we can't treat people as if they're here forever.
Lose sleep for someone.
If you're mad- forgive em'.
If you have something to tell someone- spill it.
If you're playing a game of pride- you're both losing.
Find any excuse to be with the people you love.
In the end the words you didn't say will hurt more than being vulnerable for a few seconds.
Love your people fiercely.
How lucky am I to have something that was so hard to say goodbye to?
