In those wonderfully rare instances I'm reminded of the fragility of life.
How we have the capability to throw it away at the drop of a dime.
And how truly startling that is.
I have some revisiting into my own past to help somebody's future.
And even though it's going to be hard, I'm going to do it.
Because for whatever reason, somebody gave me this miraculous capacity to take care of other people. It would be terribly foolish of me to waste it because I have little ability to take care of myself and because I've been there and I know. Instead of pulling the "do as I say and not as I do", I have a greater responsibility. I have to coach someone through a personal rocky road with only my own experiences to forge some kind of path for them.
But I'll do it.
Because if I want them to know anything, it's that they're worth it.
