August storm
Posts: 186
about a year or two ago my father and my husbands grandfather would complain everytime they visited me" why do you not have a coffee maker?" id simply say i am only a social coffee drinker and have no need for one becuase i do not get frequent visits from coffee drinkers i go to the coffee shop instead!
then i was in the store one day and seen a very nice maker on sale for ten dollars so my loved ones instanly popped in my head:)
i bought it.
the same week my dad popped in and i made him coffee and sat and talked for a while it felt so good to spend time with him:)
the same week my hubby grandfather (whom i am closer to than he is) came over we had coffee and he let me in on a secret he was keeping to himself, he told me he had cancer and he had alot of it! they were pretty confident he wasnt going to make it! i was so sad i held my tears in becuase he told me the reason he didnt want to tell was due to everyone crying he hates making people sad! well the second he left i cried, i prayed, i yelled"how could this happen to somone so kind!" i was so mixed with so many emotions.....
i then called him every morning to come and have coffee , through all the radiation treatments all the doctors appoinments, we talked and talked and talked, i didnt want to waste any time on my sadness or anger to not see him incase he did die! not too long ago he told me over coffee that his cancer has shrunk, so there is now hope for him, i truly beleive its becuase he didnt make himself sick with thoughts of death instead we had coffee "dates" just him and I"
and this is the best ten dollars i ever spent the ten dollars that just might have kept my hubbys grandfather alive for this long and created our bond that will last even after death does one day part us:) please take this story with you on this christmas eve and remember all of the lonley family members who may want to share in coffee or something a bond with you , you never know they could be keeping a secret as well we never know when we will not see them again so spend all the time you can with these wonderful people and remeber without loved ones your soul will be empty and cold, so warm it up with love....
love always booboo peace....................
