121

121

One to one … when life takes a knock, the one thing that’s guaranteed to help the situation, soften & support it is spending time with someone on a one to one basis. Talking is a lifeline … talking through what is happening, re running it through maybe over & over. Getting the fears, the frustrations into words .. into sentences & out. The magic of 121.

121 had a further meaning to my family, when we learnt of Gareth’s illness, the diagnosis, the unplanned for direction we were all headed in. We had exactly 121 days before, his seat in heaven was filled.

Those days were a mixture of joy, fear, determination, love & strength. Acceptance began to lay roots, very small ones which took hold, maybe as fast as the cancer was taking hold … we all began to accept. Putting our energies into living & loving on full speed day by day … step by step .. with many 121s …

Those days .. were precious & tough … we saw them as a gift.

364 days ago … I was fortunate to have a 121 with Gareth, not knowing it would be my last .. just knowing that heaven was calling.

Heaven was in our hearts then & will remain… we trusted it.

Every 121 you have time for, use it… See the magic, create the memory & trust the process. The opportunity to talk is a gift 🎁
