I just landed at Melbourne airport and have a short stop prior to boarding for my flight to Tasmania which lands around 2130 tonight. I'm going there to attend my brothers graduation. I'm sipping a coffee right now, no donut though...OK, donut too, and just watching the world go by whilst I wait for my boarding call.
I didn't have a very good farewell from Faith this afternoon as she was working when my limo turned up to transport me to the airport. OK, no limo, my mother in law took me. So, I feel sort of not quite right about having left without a proper farewell.
My wife and I have been together for a long time, 32 years in fact and married for 26 of them and, believe it or not, we are still in love...Aww, yeah I know right? We understand that we can't always be as close as would like and sometimes have parted like this, with only a few cursory words and a quick peck; It always feels odd.
I watched a couple at Adelaide before boarding who were obviously upset about separating. It was quite tearful and whilst I don't know the story I thought it was kind of nice. They said things, a lot of things, and to my understanding, didn't leave much unsaid. It was nice.
Sitting here now it makes me think about unsaid things, and not necessarily just when one is about to board a plane. Just in general everyday life. We never know what life holds and when we may see someone for the last time...Leaving things unsaid? Hmm, it doesn't feel right to me.
Taking the time to say the things we feel are incredibly important in my opinion...Saying thank you, I appreciate you, I love you...One never knows when the sun might set on the opportunity to do so and regret makes a poor, but life-long companion.
Anyway, I'm off to call Faith and say some words as I know she'll be finished work now and is probably wondering why I haven't called. I won't tell her it was because I was writing this...But I'll say I love you.
I wish you all a nice weekend and hope you design and create your best version of life.
