That test that goes just you're way, the phone call in the middle of the night, a text that says "I just need to talk.", a friend that only needs you to say "it's going to be okay", that first bite of your favorite chocolate cake, butterflies on a first date, the friendly glance of a perfect stranger, holding a newborn baby. To me, these are all little pieces of my own personal "heaven on earth". These little things get me through the bad days, and make me appreciate the good ones even more.
On the way home yesterday, I passed an accident on the side of the road. An SUV was wrapped all the way around a telephone pole. The radio said that on the way to the hospital in the helicopter, the man died.
When things like this happen, especially so close to Christmas time, it makes me question why. There are so many good things in this world yet so much bad. It is my wish that this man lived a full and happy life, and got the chance to enjoy the little things while he was on this earth.
Why he was taken away right now, at this time, I may never understand.
To the man in the car crash,
Thank you for making me count my blessings. Your family, children, and friends are all in my prayers this Christmas season. I hope that they will celebrate the joy that you have provided them, and will only remember the happiness that you have brought into their lives.
It is my greatest wish that you are in a place much bigger and greater than we can ever imagined, and that you have finally found that everlasting peace in a place I call heaven.
