I’ve been alive 13738 days

I’ve been alive for 13738 days

You were not alive for any where near that many, just a tiny fraction of them.

Yet somehow you have changed my whole life.

If I’m lucky I’ll live to one hundred years old.
I’ll have seen the wonders of the world.
Met my grandchildren.
Payed off the mortgage.
Witnessed the sun rise and fall over the ocean.
I’ll have laughed, cried, felt scared, felt happy. I’ll have lived.

Yes if I like to one hundred, I will be lucky.

But if I’m really lucky – like the luckiest person in the world – when I’ve done all those things and seen all those sights I’ll leave this world knowing that you will be waiting for me.

I’ll hear your voice. A little excited pitch calling out… ‘mama’
Oh what a sound that will be.
My heart will be healed. I will have reached you…my little wonder of my world.

No you were not here for very many days.
Not one of the lucky ones here year after year.
But we’ll make up for it. We will spend our time not fearing an end for there won’t be one. It’ll be forever.

Only 22787 days to go sweetie.

Oh I hope this is true.
