“It’s just amazing to know I crossed your mind for a second.”
Life is a crazy thing. And special. And sometimes it overwhelms me that that there are all these people and they each have a life. Each person has a story. So, to think, that someone would take even a second of the day to think of me; it blows my mind!
I’d like to think that I’ve touched some lives in a positive way over the years, or that people remember me fondly after we’ve parted ways. It’s always been one of my greatest fears – that I end up deathly ill and no one comes to see me. That I’ll be forgotten over the years. I’m sure I will, but I’d like to be in their memories a little longer.
Time is the one thing we all have and it passes us all by. All of us. No one is immune to it.
I’ve started reaching out to people as I think of them, to let them know, that they have crossed my mind. To know that, even though we don’t spend enough time together, that I think of them with a smile on my face, or a care or concern for their well-being. I’ll pick up a small gift if it makes me think of someone. I’ll send a text, a message, a Facebook post…every gesture counts. I’ve even sent stickers in the mail, because I knew my friend would enjoy them.
It lets me let them know that I care. I remember them.
And they’re important enough to cross my mind.
