Every Day
==========
A comment on the issue, "The Bracelet"

Dear Mountain Wings,
I just had to respond to today's MountainWings article.
I shared this with all my friends. Your messages are really
great, and I can't wait to see what you've sent each day when I
turn on my computer. Today's was especially bittersweet to me
and I just had to tell you why.
This touched home and my heart deeply. The morning my son
Roland died, I had gotten very irritated with him. He was an
easy going laid back little six-year-old, he took his sweet time
with everything; nothing could make him rush around.
That morning had been especially hard, I was pressed for time
having to be at work by 7:45 am, stressed because I was handling
the office all by myself for the first time since I had started
working there, tired because although I was married I did
everything by myself since my ex-husband wouldn't help in any
way, and I couldn't get Roli to get going. And I still had to
get him and his brother to the sitter so I could be at work on
time. After telling him to hurry several times as I got his
younger brother of 4 ready, I swatted Roli's behind to let him
know I was serious.
Next time I saw my son he was purple from lack of oxygen in his
body, on a gurney, on his way into the town's hospital. He had
been run over by a school bus. He died a few hours later.
This scenario haunted me for years after his death.
How I wished I would have hugged him and kissed him instead.
That's what I would have done had I known that would be the last
time I'd have him alive.
Friends, let us remember to never be so angry at those we love,
family or friends, that we do things we may regret later. Let's
remember to hug, kiss, and tell them we love them every day. We
never know when the last time will be that we will see that
loved one.
I love you all very very much.
