I wrote a little while back that I had an ER visit, and that I was gone for a little while recovering. The ER visit itself isn't the point of this, and neither is the recovery. The point is the reminder I felt as part of all that happened. I long ago learned that life is a wonderful thing, and this was a reminder of that. What happened scared me quite deeply, and through it all I only had one thought: that I wanted my partner there with me. I have done as much as I can to live a life I won't regret. I quit my job as a manager at a Pizza Hut to work with the developmentally disabled, because I knew I could do good there and because I knew the job would make me happy as well. (And it has.) I try to keep in contact with family as much as I can, even though I really gave up on certain ones of them a long time ago (long story there). Let's just say that we came to the understanding that we are family, and no matter what we love each other and are there for each other. Even those I don't see too often know I love them, or (at least) I hope they do. No matter what, I know they are happy. I do all I can to show love, and to love. That is the greatest gift I can give in this life, and I hope I have done that. Most importantly I have long felt the presence of Aten, and I have done all I can to keep myself open to that presence. So when I got to ride the ambulance and got to the ER, my only worry was my partner and the desire to feel his presence. I knew that if I left this life my only regrets would have been not being able to continue spending time with my loved ones, and that I wouldn't be able to do more to spread the word about Atenism. Even with those regrets, I knew I had done all I could. That is not to say my life has been perfect, far from it. All lives have their problems, and I have had my fair share. But, I have always kept the above lessons in mind and did what I could. Edited by Astennu, Mar 25 2009, 01:48 PM.
