MEMORY -
Towards Uncle Pete's last few days, I remember him lighting up at the taste of a Popsicle. The severity of the cancer made it impossible for him to keep any food down, and in all reality, was starving. We gave him an orange Popsicle to hold and enjoy in effort to keep him hydrated while making him feel independent enough to do something on his own. He LOVED his Popsicles, letting out a brief smile upon receiving it. The coolness of the icy treat was refreshing for him. He enjoyed it as if it was the last thing he would eat ..... and that it was.
APPLICATION -
After spending a tiresome day at the Louvre Museum, Erik and I did a little shopping nearby. Knowing it was our last day in Paris, Erik sucked every last bit of his surroundings in, making stops at every crepe wagon he passed, as if it was the last real crepe he would have in a long time .... which is would be.
REFLECTION -
Enjoy what you can while you can, you never know when it will be your last.
