If you’re fortunate enough to have an incredibly special person in your life…

A husband. A wife. A lover. A romantic partner…

Go hug them, okay?

Tightly.

Because I know life gets busy and most people don’t tend to think that their lives together will ever end in death.

I get it.

But your life together will end in death for one of you.

It’s inevitable, right?

And I cannot begin to describe to you what it feels like to be the one left behind.

There are no words in any of the human languages that accurately and fully describes the depth and breadth of what it means to walk alone in the world.

Oh, I know.

Immediately people say oh, you have to learn to be alone. It’s something inside of you that’s wrong if you don’t want to live without your one person.

Bullshit on that.

It’s the (edited) loneliest feeling in the world to walk down a road…drive along…go to sleep at night….gaze up at the stars…be in a room filled with people…make major decisions…watch life continue on…when you are the one left behind.

Of course I can do life alone.

Anyone can.

But when you’ve been the smile in someone’s eyes…

If you’ve been the reason for that smile…

When your feet felt solidly grounded even as your heart danced each time your eyes met…

All of the big things and small things and in between things in life…

Easier. Better. More beautiful because of your one person.

And that person is dead and gone.

Even though you know the Love your person left behind for you is infused into you…

Even so…

It is the (edited)loneliest feeling in the world,

And your body and mind and heart and soul just knows it, no matter what else is going on around you.

So, anyways, if you’re fortunate enough to have your one person still in your life,

Go hug the hell out of them.

For me. For you. For everyone who doesn’t.

Don’t waste ONE (edited) MOMENT MORE.
