Life's like that!

Actions speak louder than words, and we were witness to this . Last weekend we were invited to a neighbors 90th birthday, the 'Birthday Boy" in his tuxedo was looking good, with his beautiful, wife besides him.
Everything was well taken care of, the guests were welcomed at the door and the atmosphere was lovely, befitting one who has lived life and surely deserved a celebration of this grandeur,completing the circle with close family and friends.
Their children came in from different parts of the globe, and one could see the amount of time and thought and money that was invested into the celebration.
Going back to my opening statement, small acts of caring that I saw brought so much more energy into my recently renewed vows. His wife was helping her husband, explaining to him, "Mr and Mrs P are here to wish you," and helping him to have a lovely afternoon, you could see nothing...... Only love all around them,be it their children, or close friends, or even the bearers were so thoughtful.
There was a power point presentation and pictures of the past days were shown, together with the highs and lows in their lives, my husband was especially thrilled with a picture of their dog, they once owned as it seems his and their dog too, were buddies ! The food was the highlight of the afternoon .
The children gave their own versions of their days gone by and brought a tear to our eyes.
The little acts of love made by the family, his children who had left their homes, and jobs only for a few days to be with dad and mum was so beautiful, I could not help but think what their parting would be like. Quickly tried to focus on the delicious food.
Several thoughts were snaking in and out of my mind, but one of them I will surely write ........, it is nice to be with our loved ones during their lifetime,and treasure these "LIVE" memories instead of placing bouquets on a cold tombstone.
So lets get out and start loving and forgiving and live in this NOW moment.
Till you read again !
