On Friday I was fuming. I had missed my flight for the first time and I was upset at myself as I thought my unfortunate predicament was my own doing. Afterall how else do you make sense of what had happened? I ended my entry my asking how do we persevere and endure when the whole world makes demands of you?
Although I didn’t find the exact answers to my anguished questions per se I found something else. The price of relationships. It was a reminder to me that there was indeed more to life than just satisfying my fledgling questions.
Seeing my dad and spending time with him on Friday made me realize the value and importance of relationships. It made me realize that life was just not about me and that relationships matter more than just ensuring my scheduled objectives are met. Yes I do realize I need to slow down but on the contrary when you go through something like this, you realize how you can’t put a price on someone you love. Hanging out with dad and hearing him tell interesting stories about the latest happenings in his life was something priceless. It reminded me how precious these relationships are how I should treasure and be thankful for them.
There are some things in life you really can’t put a price tag on them. I am thankful to have been able to learn this important lesson during this weekend.
