Have you made peace in your life? Are you taking for granted people know how important they are to you?

Do you think you will ever will reach out to mend those fences - put the past hurts aside? If you reach out to someone and they don't respond, will it stop you from moving on to the next?

Our life on this earth is fragile. It can be whisked away in an instant.

We are not promised tomorrow and recent events happening in our world should drive that fact home to every single one of us. Our demise might come in the guise of a big red bus or in mother nature's fury. No one knows.

When it's my time, I want to leave with a clear slate. I don't want to leave without apologizing and mending fences, or without telling those I love and care for, what they've meant to me, and how they have positively impacted my life. I don't want any unresolved issues weighing me down. I don't want to regret not saying what I should have, while I still had the time. I don't want to rehash the past and all the baggage that goes with it - I simply seek to be free of the burden of the unresolved.

A couple conversations have proven difficult, but they were freeing and in the end they were positive. I can't control who accepts nor who declines, but I can find peace in knowing I have done my best.

A very important promise I made to myself, that no matter what issues I’m struggling with in life, the people who matter to me will always know they matter. Too much illness and loss have taught me just how fragile life can be. If I love you, I will tell you. Just did so with my sister and niece. Hope it’s meaningful to them, I know it is to me.

@OlderSometimesWiser I understand. I've always tried to do that to a degree, but it has become more important to me, the older I get.
