Sometimes it is hard to decipher who we are and our purpose in this life.
I know that I have not found a code to understanding who I am. I know that I am here for a purpose. My life is a gift, not only to me, but to my parents. There were many time that I lived even though it was considered against the odds. I know in my heart that my life and knowledge are also a gift to someone else.
Life, Love, and Loyalty have deeper meanings to someone who has grown up with a comprehension of pain and death.
Life is wasted by so many people. Life is too common for most. Many do not think twice about each breath, each blink, each meal, each drink, each moment. It really is a pitty. Even though one may try to understand how to live like he or she was dieing. But that fear is not real enough for many, even when the learn of some illness they have.
I had an aunt that died not long ago. She had multiple strokes and had a rapid cancer. Yet during the six months that she was told that she had to live...she did not. My aunt died. She continued to rely on anti-depressants, anxiety medication, and other medications. The time she had, she wasted in a fog of pretend reality.
When one understands life, like one that is living like they are dieing, he or she are not obsessed with themselves. There thoughts are turned to those who are living. Time spent becomes important. Anxiety is no more than a fleeting thoughts. Smiles and laughter become pain killers.
Sounds like living a fairy tail, but it is true. "Rush" is erased from their vocabulary. They no long live by seconds, but moments. They give of their heart. LOVE, blooms thick from Life.
Love, caring about someone else. Giving completely of one self to ensure the other's needs are met and their wants are special. Time is precious when spent with a love one. Most people think love is an emotion, a feeling of the heart. Those who know love knows that emotion is only a part of love. Love is emotion, choice, reflection, enriched lives and time.
Love flows seamlessly into Loyality. Loyality, the idea of being completely involved with the needs and wants of another that everything fades to the backgrown.
This is how I see the world around me. Sometimes I blame it on my astromic sign, Leo. Sometime my childhood. Sometimes I say it's just who I am. I do not know the real answer.
But I know, all that I have lived, is useful to someone somewhere. I just need to keep looking for my purpose.

Absolutely beautiful.
It's clear that his comes straight from your heart. Your phrasing is enchanting, your words near perfection. But more important than that, your message is clear.
I am sorry for your loss; I do not quite know what it feels like because I have not yet lost any close friends or family. My grandfather just found out he has cancer, and I hope this coming battle will be a short one; I hope he wins out, survives, and continues to live, perhaps forever. My uncle has been battling infections in his brain for awhile now; at first it was thought to be a brain tumor, but the doctors then found it was an infection in his mouth that had been driven up into his skull while he was at Disney World (Space Mountain nearly killed him!). Through all this, his family has supported him, and now the doctors have removed the infection and he is recovering well.
I can only hope that they, and I as well, treat life as the delicacy that it is.
Your feelings here show a heart that looks at life with hope. It is beautiful. I hope that others will see this and see the hope that shines through you.

Thank you so much for reading it.
I hope that both your grandfather and uncle fight hard...not because they should "fear dieing" or that they should "live forever" but because Life is vigor and vigor comes from fighting and fighting strengthens life. They have much to live for.
It was wonderful to hear in a movie...
"now we wait."
"No now we breathe, pulse, and regenerate. Our hearts love, our bodies rejuvinate, and our minds create. 37 seconds well lived could be a life time."
We do not fight to live because we fear death. We fight to live because life requires it. Support your family and give them the life they deserve to live. Take the time that we have and make the most out of 37 seconds.
