ONCE MORE
Posted by AC on Friday Jan 9, 2009“Have you ever lost someone you love and wanted one more conversation, one more chance to make up for the time when you thought they would be here forever? If so, then you know you can go your whole life collecting days, and none will outweigh the one you wish you had back.
What if you got it back?”
- For One More Day (Mitch Albom)
For me, it would be my great grandmother (whom I wrote a special entry for, click HERE for the story). I would say sorry for the days that I wasn’t by her side when she was going through the last few battles of her life.
If fortunate enough that those days will be back, I will travel to the province and make her final days extra special. We will play Super Mario Pow by Nintendo (that’s her favorite video game), I’ll buy her a new set of Brick Game or Game Boy, I’ll bring her favorite Danish cookies. We will bake our favorite cookies & pastries, I will comb her curly white hair, we will talk about the books that we both read… and we will spend the days lounging at the garden.. enjoying the breeze and the fresh air while sharing my life with her, and making her feel proud that I have achieved what she has always been dreaming for me to accomplish.
But if only she will be here for ONE MORE DAY.. I will just say SORRY.. for not making her my priority at the time.. and I love her.. for being my greatest inspiration.
