Those Precious Moments

For those of us that had trouble growing up (and still do lol), do you ever get really frustrated when you look to others that are close to you in moments of great rejection, accomplishment or uneasiness? It makes me so angry that people don't understand the significance of the milestones that we reach in life. Don't they know that we only live one life? I mean, the people that we love the most should be there to share in the highs and the lows so that the experiences are real and memorable. Furthermore, why is it so exhausting to some people to listen to another person talk about their success/failure? It isn't every day, every week or probably even every month that we experience great ups and downs in our lives. Is it such a big deal to humor our loved ones, listen to their sentiments, validate their claims, build their confidence and create new levels of closure? It is a simple concept, but so many times we forget that it is as simple as not taking a phone call while they are talking, not surfing the net, not picking up groceries.

Every now and then, on certain issues, I just need to know that there is nothing more important at that moment and everything else can wait. We don't have to accomplish a thousand things every time we are on the phone or in a deep conversation. Sometimes it is just enough to be there for each other. Honestly, what would happen it we just surrendered to the needs of others every now and then, especially our wifes and husbands, and let go of the other distractions in the world. At what point is it enough to just be human together? I will tell you when, NOW.
