The Season of Miracles
Throughout the holiday season it seems everybody steps back to review the year that is concerning an end. This year I will not only think back on the despair of the year but likewise the many true blessings and also wonders all over me.
Katie was identified with a deadly glioblastoma in January of 2013. A secondary school elderly she was anticipating Prom, Senior journey, Graduation and also College. Her life and also ours will transform permanently. Katie endured surgical procedure, radiation and bi-weekly chemotherapy. In that time she still went to Disney with her elderly class (college registered nurse as well as mom in tow). She went to prom as lovely and also glowing as ever before and also she walked in graduation. Katie intended to live as regular a life as possible, for this reason her stating “Love the Life you Live”.; Katie’s trip ended this summer season after an 18 month battle.
Why does it take a misfortune of a young woman’s life being ended in such a horrible way to wake every person around her to appreciate life?
My good friend drove house after Katie’s funeral service as well as told me she discovered herself angry in all of our next-door neighbors for not understanding the pain our family was experiencing. Her comment really made me think. I’m as guilty as the following person. Do we ever really recognize what is taking place in someone else’ life or what their discomfort is?
These past months after shedding Katie I have truly attempted to open my eyes to the individuals and also globe around me. There are little miracles occurring everywhere if we can just quit to notice. The “Make a Wish” foundation sent out Katie as well as hundreds of children on unbelievable family trips during their struggles.
In my professional life I aid potential franchise owners in picking and also examining the most effective franchise for their life objectives. I wish that my life experience this previous year has made me a better train for my customers. I pay attention to them as well as attempt to really feel what they are going through.Only then can I even hope to encourage them on which franchise may allow them to stabilize their life and also relationship goals with their job objectives. Life is as well brief to spend it in an office building far from your household benefiting someone else that might or not actually care about you.
This holiday season I will miss out on Katie terribly however her words “Love the Life you Live” will certainly resonate with me in all that I do and also with everybody I am honored to hang out with. I want the very same for you!
