After spending nearly every waking minute with Angel for eight straight days, I knew that I had to tell her just one thing. So late at night, just before she fell asleep, I whispered it in her ear. She smiled – the kind of smile that makes me smile back –and she said, “When I’m seventy-five and I think about my life and what it was like to be young, I hope that I can remember this very moment.”
A few seconds later, she closed her eyes and fell asleep. The room was peaceful – almost silent. All I could hear was the soft purr of her breathing. I stayed awake thinking about the time we had spent together and all the choices in our lives that made this moment possible. And at some point, I realized that it did not matter what we had done or where we had gone. Nor did the future hold any significance.
Just being with her and breathing with her.
Basically we learn that our days are made up of fleeting moments. In a split second, these moments are gone. Do not let external pressures or stress keep you from appreciating the little moments that makes life beautiful. Every day is a miracle, from the moment you open your eyes in the morning and close your eyes at night.
