a wake up call today

Original post by ant n tilde

i believe that God speaks to us in His own special ways sometimes. . . sometimes its something subtle like a random butterfly and sometimes its a smack upside the head like i got today

I was fighting with FH about the stupid RD, we have been fighting every single day.

Today at work I was on the phones and a man called up to ask a question about his Medicare. . . all of a sudden he starts sobbing into the phone - he lost his wife of 53 years a few months ago

He asked me if I was married and I told him that I would be soon and he told me to appreciate every single minute with my husband bc we never know how much longer we have in this life. He was telling me to always love him and take care of him, bc he needed me to take care of him even if he didnt know how to tell me that

i know it sounds strange but it was like this man actually talking to ME and knew ME and had this message for me at that very moment. Just as I was getting off the phone with him, my cell went off and it was FH - i told him I loved him 43x and then tonight I told him all about it

When the man hung up he said that I was his blessing and he was so thankful that he reached me and I was able to help him. . . at that point I was crying and trying to hide it but i wish i could have told him that he was MY blessing

i wanted to share this with you girls bc i thought it was so special and we can all benefit from listening to this guy!!!

That was such a bittersweet story. Thanks for the reminder that life is short.
