Why do we have to wait for times of difficulty to realize what is important to us? It's the times of sorrow and loss that tend to refocus us on what is truly valuable. In the normal pace of life we often forget to be grateful for the people that matter to us and we neglect the regular connection that we all wish we could maintain. While I don't treasure the moments of grief that tend to bring us back together, I do appreciate the not-so-gentle reminder of the great value of the people we love. It's my personal ambition to be more connected to my family without having a sentinel event to refocus me.
