2010: A Season of Beginnings and Reunions and Closures

We all have our separation and loneliness issues: a friend moves away to abroad, a child sees his dad leave for work, lovers become just friends or not at all, husbands go to Afghanistan leaving their wife pregnant and family, waking up and realizing that you're 60 and that you feel so old, relatives fighting that the next reunion does not push through, but most of all, when someone passes away be it a child, teen, adult or old person.
I don't want to dampen your spirits just because it is the holidays, but I just had a realization that life is short. Just this week, a few of our loved ones have passed away. My mom got a phone call from them saying that a friend from their Lion's club passed away yesterday in his sleep. He never woke up.
My mom's friend who has not been calling her suddenly called her out of the blue. Actually, they had some sort of misunderstanding, so just to get out of the way, my mom decided to ignore the friend. I found out later on that it was my mom who called her first. And the reason my mom said, "Life is too short to be spent in anger that is why I am calling you."
To everyone who has not done closure with ex boyfriends or girlfriends, to someone who has been angry at someone for a long period or has not kept in touch with friends, or families torn apart because of misunderstandings, now is the time to reunite and bury the hatchet.

Thanks for sharing. It is really hard when you and a friend don't see eye to eye. I am glad to know that you will be doing the first move to call up your friend. Two things can happen, one is that the friend will ignore and the other is to talk to you. Nevertheless, whatever the outcome, you did your part of making the first move towards you and your friend's reconciliation. Good luck. Let me know what happens!
