Time with your loved ones is limited ...

When I was waiting for my mom in the car in front of the oncology department, I noticed a man. He was in his mid 40s, I would guess, long, brown, wavy hair and a baseball cap on his head. He was waiting under the roof of the entrance because it was raining very hard. He was always nervous and excited going up and down the entrance area. Always looked at the front door. As if he was waiting longingly for someone very special. He walked up and down the entrance area, up and down again for at least 10 minutes. Until he stopped with his back to the front door and checked something on his cell phone. Suddenly the doors of the oncology department opened and an older woman in her early 70s came out. Shoulder-length, white hair. She looks around and sees this waiting man. At that moment when the older woman steps out and he noticed her, time has visibly stopped for both of them. They only had one eye on each other and otherwise they no longer saw anything. He hugged the woman warmly, tenderly and very lovingly, as if she were the most precious thing in the whole world. He whispered something in her ear as they continued to embrace deeply and lovingly. The man took a step back, looked at the woman and took her face very carefully and lovingly in his hands. The love that spoke from his face was hard to miss. He leaned forward and gave the woman a gentle, honest and warm kiss on the forehead. She smiled at herself. We walked arm in arm under the umbrella through the heavy rain. As if nothing could separate them ... 

This is what true mother-son love looks like. At that moment, when the mother and son lay in their arms, looked at each other so lovingly, it touched my heart very much. I only felt this love by looking. That love was so strong and sincere and so pure. It literally blew me away. No word in the world can come close to describing this love. Unconditional, honest and so pure. 

Appreciate your mom, give thanks every day for being some life. Because nothing can be taken for granted and the time with your loved ones is limited ...
