When Time Runs Out
Tonight I got a call from a good friend to say that an old friend of ours had passed away.
If you've ever received a similar call, you know what I mean when I say that all kinds of things ran through my mind. I felt sad, heavy, and thankful for her life. All at once.
The other day, Peg came to my mind and I thought that I should go visit her so we could catch up on the years that have passed since we last saw each other. It would have been great to talk with her.
Peg was a wise woman. She had known pain, sorrow and happiness in her life and yet her gentle spirit and warm heart always had room for others. I will forever be grateful for the part she played in my life - especially when I was a little girl and later as a young mother.
I hope you don't let time run out for you and someone you care about.
