When Minutes Changes Your Life Forever

I remember reading an email a while back about how life can change in days, hours, minutes, seconds, and how seconds count…I can’t recall the specifics of exactly how the wording went, but that doesn’t really matter. I was getting ready this morning for work, and my mind went back to that particular email. It’s amazing how a few words spoken in a matter of seconds can change your life forever…some examples of happy moments that come to mind are “I’m pregnant”, “will you marry me” ..Those are life changing moments…the one that I wasn’t sure I was ready to hear, but knew it was coming, was “I’m surprised your still driving…it would be my recommendation that you not drive anymore”..As the tears slowly came, and the dr. handed me a tissue, I knew that life was about to change dramatically. I knew in my gut going into this appointment that this was going to happen, and I had been weepy for a few weeks leading up to it. In my heart of hearts I knew this was going to happen, but yet I still wasn’t ready to hear those words….but yet I had to hear them from him, because I knew I wasn’t going to make that decision for myself…I know this is the right thing to do, but to process this change, and to wrap my brain around the specifics and how much this affects my husband, my kids, and my family is too hard to think about…It’s just life changing…
