Life is a whirlwind of activity lately! I have been busy with helping out in the office at The Ballet School, watching my niece and making sure I spend as much time with my Nanny as I can before she embarks on her journey to Heaven. My Nanny is doing well, she is so sweet and I treasure every moment I spend with her. It is an odd feeling spending time with someone when in the back of your head you are always thinking, "this could be the last time we see one another." I suppose we should always think that when we are living our day to day lives but we seem to forget when we are around people who are healthy. We just always think that we will see eachother again! My Nanny and I always say "I love you" and with just one look from her I know that she will always be there for me not matter where she is. I feel like we are in a good place right now and that no matter what happens in the days to come I will always know that we shared special moments together.
     Yesterday my Aunt Jami was admitted into the ICU at John Muir Hospital. She has had a cold/flu all week and was not getting any better so yesterday morning her husband took her to the emergency room and they discovered that she had a very severe bacterial infection and they told her that her life was on the line. I have been praying all day and all night and am happy to report that she made it through the night. We are just taking one day at a time and are hoping and praying that she will regain her strength and get better. When this happened yesterday I started to think about all that I want to say to her and all that I should have done. I felt uneasy and so unstatisfied. I knew that she loved me and I knew that she knows that I love her but there was still so much to say!!! I kept asking myself, "why didnt I say anything to her the last time I saw her!"
      Now, there is are a lessons that present themselves here that all of us need to learn. The lessons are simple, always live each moment as if it is your last and never leave anywhere without saying goodbye and tell the people you love that you love them all the time. The last time I saw my Aunt Jami was at my Nannys house and she was more beautiful than ever. She was just laying right next to my Nanny enjoying her time with her mom. I loved the time I spent with her, but if I had known that in just a few short days she would be in the ICU and that there would be a chance that she could die I would have told her how much I loved her and thanked her for all the amazing memories I have from when I was little. I would have hugged her tighter, stared at her more often and I would have stayed a little longer.
      It is just interesting how we act with people that we know are going to die soon as opposed to the people we consider healthy and believe that they will live longer. The thing is, we dont know anything. We dont know who is going to die when. When we wake up in the morning we may think that we know how the day will go but we dont know for certain! It is so important to live in the present moment. It is so important to have faith and believe that all will be ok.
     I  ask for your prayers for my Aunt. I ask that you pray that she will find the strength to overcome this infection that is living in her. I ask that you pray for the Doctors that are trying to save her. We must pray loud so that the Highest Good can hear us.
     Tell the people you love that you love them, never leave a situation with regrets. Live presently and openly to the universe. Be who you want to be and LIVE.
