Then You'll See


I'm in a philosophical mood at the moment...as we are approaching the last of the 'firsts' since we lost Connor.

It's scary to think of how him being around...and then not...has impacted upon my family's lives.

Of course...you're probably aware that if he hadn't come along, you wouldn't be reading this now.

But...on a more personal level...there are a few things that have come out of him NOT being around.

We were able to move to the coast...which, aside from changing the path of both Lesley and I, has forever changed Katie's life.

Not only that...my parents are now moving around the corner of us (incidentally between our house and Lesley's parents, in terms of distance),

So...because we lost Connor...we have a more 'relaxed' lifestyle by the sea, and my parents were able to move because somebody they knew was already down here.

The only reason this became obvious to me was as Lesley and I talked about hpw the decisions we made both before, during, and after Connor being around had shaped our lives.

His legacy lives on through having a positive impact on his closest family's quality of life.

That's my boy!

But...it also reinforced my belief that EVERY single decision that YOU make has so may 'offshoots' from it that you can't usually comprehend.

By that very same token...if you don't really make that many POSITIVE and challenging decisions...then nothing much is going to change, is it?

You can't possibly know how VALUABLE the decisions in your life can be to your future...unless you MAKE them.

Then you'll see.
