A Few More Years

I was saddened by the words of my husband yesterday. He said to me after spending a week in the hospital, “I just want a few more years and I’m not sure that’s going to happen”. It stopped my whole being, I couldn’t move, I couldn’t respond, I couldn’t cry, I just sat there not knowing what to do or say. I know we all want as many years as possible with our love ones, but to know that your time is limited has got to be the worse feeling in the whole world.

A FEW MORE YEARS is not enough time to do all you want to do in life. It’s brought him to a point where he knows he doesn’t really want a bucket list because it will probably never get filled. Financially it’s not feasible to do his bucket list just wish I could win the lottery and give him the best rest of his life. Maybe this is his best, maybe we should appreciate these years a little more, maybe this is his few more years, maybe we need to step outside the box and see the whole picture, I’m not quite sure anymore either.

This week has opened our eyes a little wider and we have each other to get through it all. My bucket is now been emptied and replaced with the words “A FEW MORE YEARS”, this is our main goal now in life. These are the words we wake up and say everyday, ” thank you for a adding another day to my few years I have left”. We appreciate each day, we struggle each day, we try and do what makes us happy each day and most of all we are thankful each day.

If we do get a FEW MORE YEARS it will be the best years ever, I just hope he will see that and be happy to know that these few more years will make all of us happy. Fight on my warrior and keep up the battle, the BEST YEARS are about to come.
