30 Days of Truth Challenge : Day 21

Day 21

(scenario) Your best friend is in a car accident and you two got into a fight an hour before. What do you do?

Well, for me, I'd get myself to the hospital as quickly as I could. I don't care about some petty argument or fight, especially if they are one of my best friends.

But, this one hits a little close to home for me. When I really started thinking about it, it scared me to think of how I would feel if I didn't make it to the hospital in time?

I have a handful of best friends, but only that I consider my "best friend", and that's my husband Jake. He is the one that knows all my secrets, all my fears, all my hopes and dreams, and he holds my heart and future in his hands. I can't imagine my life without him. I honestly don't know where I'd today be without him.

Well, if you've read any of the previous post you know that Jake has recently enlisted in the Army. And, that this has heightened my awareness of how fragile our lives are. So, when I considered this question, I immediately thought of him. I know that I would be commandeering any kind of transportation I needed to get to him, even after an awful fight. The only thing that would be going through my mind at that point would be, "Hold on! Hold on, until I can get there, so I can tell you I love you and I can say sorry for being a stupid girl and for making you feel like you are anything less than wonderful and amazing. Please, just hold on!"

It scares me to realize that there is, however small, a possibility that this could happen in the near future. And, for that, I try really hard not to allow myself to get stuck on stupid petty things that have no significants to us and only take away the precious time we have together.

I hope I never have to be faced with that scenario. I hope that that if anything were to happen to my husband and best friend, that our last conversation would be one of love, laughter and joy. I hope that my last words to him are, "I love you," and not something pouty and selfish.

I love you Jake :-*
