After Hundreds of Goodbyes
Every person I've sat with at the end of their life has taught me something. But the lesson is always the same lesson, said in a hundred different ways.
"Be here. Love a little more. Say it. Don't wait."
Four things. Simple enough to fit on a napkin. Hard enough to require a lifetime of practice.
The hardest part of this isn't being with people as they say goodbye. It's carrying what they tell me back into a world that is full of distractions. We forget that the people in front of us won’t always be there.
And neither will we.
Be someone who sees people. Tomorrow is not guaranteed.
They told me. Now I'm telling you.
