Wow. Talk about a blow. Talk about a WAKE UP CALL.
My mind can't help but wander to the heartache that his wife of ten years must be going through. Or how his 8 year-old and 5 year-old daughters are doing.
He was only a few weeks older then my own husband. Unbelievable.
It's times like these that zap me back to what's really important.
It is reminder to:
- Tell your spouse and children how much they mean to you.
- Take the time and effort to stay connected to your spouse and not let the relationship run on "auto-pilot".
- Check in with yourself and ask, "Where am I settling? If I die tomorrow, what would I regret? What changes can I make today to start living a more passionate, authentic life?"
- Make sure that you have talked through the unthinkable with your spouse and have taken the actions that will support either one of you if, God forbid, something like this happens in your family.
- Focus on all that you are grateful for and all that is good in the world.
- Choose to be present and engaged with those around you. STOP multi-tasking and consciously BE in the moment--those are the moments that you, your spouse and your children will remember.
