Hours, minutes, seconds….you never know it means so much until it’s gone. It was a mystery to me what was on your mind all the while you were trying your best to offer me a surprise. In an instant, nothing else mattered more than those fifteen minutes. I wish I had some insight beforehand then maybe I could have made it happen. Time is precious so valuable. I appreciate the effort and measures that you took to try to put a smile on my face. Caught me off guard for certain. You amaze me. I wish could have had the time to spend, just to hug you, just to look at your face. This is SUCH a struggle right now at this moment. Your smile was just within reach and things beyond our control kept you away. I wish it was different. I wish I could’ve gotten the chance to see your face even if only for five minutes. I would have been satisfied with that. Five minutes could have been a lifetime. We must learn to cherish time.
