Unsaid things

in #thoughts5 years ago

I just landed at Melbourne airport and have a short stop prior to boarding for my flight to Tasmania which lands around 2130 tonight. I'm going there to attend my brothers graduation. I'm sipping a coffee right now, no donut though...OK, donut too, and just watching the world go by whilst I wait for my boarding call.

I didn't have a very good farewell from Faith this afternoon as she was working when my limo turned up to transport me to the airport. OK, no limo, my mother in law took me. So, I feel sort of not quite right about having left without a proper farewell.

My wife and I have been together for a long time, 32 years in fact and married for 26 of them and, believe it or not, we are still in love...Aww, yeah I know right? We understand that we can't always be as close as would like and sometimes have parted like this, with only a few cursory words and a quick peck; It always feels odd.

I watched a couple at Adelaide before boarding who were obviously upset about separating. It was quite tearful and whilst I don't know the story I thought it was kind of nice. They said things, a lot of things, and to my understanding, didn't leave much unsaid. It was nice.

Sitting here now it makes me think about unsaid things, and not necessarily just when one is about to board a plane. Just in general everyday life. We never know what life holds and when we may see someone for the last time...Leaving things unsaid? Hmm, it doesn't feel right to me.

Taking the time to say the things we feel are incredibly important in my opinion...Saying thank you, I appreciate you, I love you...One never knows when the sun might set on the opportunity to do so and regret makes a poor, but life-long companion.

Anyway, I'm off to call Faith and say some words as I know she'll be finished work now and is probably wondering why I haven't called. I won't tell her it was because I was writing this...But I'll say I love you.

I wish you all a nice weekend and hope you design and create your best version of life.

Amazing view!

Grazie mille.

Howdy sir galenkp! Totally agree..I don't have anything to add. lol.

Yes sir. Hey I sent you 10 steem today for the League win this week, congratulations on that! Nobody close to you, you can cruise.

Grazie mille good sir. Note necessary of course, but I'm grateful.

I'll not be up there this week...Just too much happening. It's all I can do to actually get a post out to be honest.

Thanks for that though, much obliged.

My pleasure and it's more of an accomplishment given your hectic schedule. Most people couldn't do half of what you do! You might be surprised at the results, that happened to me one time when our internet was down for two days so my numbers were pitiful but it just so happened that no one else did anything that week and I still won it.

We'll see...My engagement is well down now though as work is busy plus my brother got here. I just don't have the time. Still, we'll see how I go.

Awwww... what a heartfelt, loving, affectionate article this is!
I appreciate you, @galenkp! Have a safe trip, and take care 🥰🌺🤙

Thanks SS888. I'm passionate about everything I do. I believe it's the solid foundation on which everything else rests. If one has it, applies it, all else just falls into place. I mean at work, at play and certainly in relationships too. If one has passion for something all the other things required to design and create the best version of it simply occur as a matter of course...

Just my belief.

Thank you, I will. Just away for the weekend to see my brother graduate. Have yourself a great weekend also.

Well articulated, and kudos my friend @galenkp! Incredible personal belief 💪🏻👍🥰🌺🤙.

Thanks mate.

We never know what life holds and when we may see someone for the last time...

Yes, we never know that. Sometimes things happen that you have never thought would happen.

While reading your post, it reminds me of my grandmother. I saw her last year. After that, I didn't get a chance to see her again. She left us all forever.

When we have time, we can express our feelings about how much we love our family. As long as the people whom you love are happy and healthy, what else do you to be happy?

Thank you, @galenkp. Have a great weekend!

Sorry to hear about your grandmother. Yes, life is too short to waste. Thanks for dropping by.
