He called me Sister

There were lots of broken hearts and tears yesterday when a dear friend of my family sent an update on the father of the family's condition. They were told that after fighting his cancer for years, undergoing surgery after surgery and uncomprehendable pain and stress for his family, they found confirmed tumors growing in his lungs as well as several new tumors. Chemo can't treat it. There is nothing they can do, and they know his time here is rapidly drawing to a close.
This is a man who's entire career is helping others. He greets everybody, and I literally mean every single person, with a huge hug and smile. The first time I introduced him to my husband he got the biggest grin on his face and said, "Hey Brother! It's so great to finally meet you!" and gave him a hug. To him, every person is his brother or sister, and he treats them that way. He has an amazing wife who dedicates herself to her family, friends, and serving others. He has five beautiful children.
As I sat at the computer yesterday, dumbfounded by what I was reading, I thought, with tears running down my face, that if anybody deserved a miracle it was this family.
It truly made me think about how none of us know how much time we will have with our loved ones. And at night before we went to sleep, I kissed my husband for real. I opened up all of my senses and etched every detail of it into my memory. I thought about how much I love him and made a goal not to take any moment for granted.
It has inspired me to see how this family has handled this personal earthquake. Instead of asking for sympathy they have been reassuring Us that it will be ok. Instead of asking God why, they have been praising his name and thanking him for all that they have. And instead of mourning the time that they won't have, they are taking advantage of the time that they have been given. I am so in awe of this family and the insight and perspective they have on life.

Take a minute today and think about all that you have. Soak up every single detail. Don't take anything for granted.
Love you all!
