Today I was talking on the phone at work to a patient of ours that just past her "5 year" mile post. She is devoted to making beautiful quilts for cancer patients, a "pay back" she says , for God letting her live. Quilting is her passion.
In our conversation, she asked how soon I would be able to retire. I told her, "not for at least 7 more years", to which she proceeded to inquire as to my "plans" then. I told her I didn't really have any retirement plans. She said,
"Oh Sharon, you must realize your reason for living "... a reason to keep on living, when I am no longer working.
I thought immediately of Mom........how sad. How sad she will not allow any of us to give her a reason to live each day. I couldn't imagine waking up and not needing to be anywhere or do anything or not WANTING to be with my family.
So I guess what I am getting at, is that I am going to start "planning". I will try to find my purpose , my reason to be "alive".
Anything thoughts on the subject, sisters???
Love-
Middle sis
