DNR

Do not resuscitate.  Is that how you spell it ?  R -E -S- U- S -C- I -T- A- T- E.

You hear that phrase about a loved one and immediately your heart is heavy, slows, or speeds or skips a beat.  Do not?  Wait.....DO NOT??  That means if someone can't breathe - don't help them. 

Leave them be.  Let it go.  Let them go. Go where?  Not here, is all we really know.

Not in the same state of health or mind or physical being. Not in pain as we know it. Not in the struggle , not in the fight. Free yes Free. Free from this life.  Let me spell it again. R E S U S C I T A T E. It can mean what it means or something much more enlightening.  

Remember the nicknames, the smiles, the laughter, the quick one liners to the waitress or cashier. 

Enjoy the memories of watching movies with pizza n chicken, or tagging along to a G sale, in the Van 

Smile when you think of him, see his smile in your mind, hear his voice, listen, listen. Can you hear him? 

Understand all those lessons he tried to teach you.  Now that you've grown up a little you understand..

Sharing. Share the stories, share the lessons, share the memories and traditions with the next generations

Cry, even tho he told you not to cry for him, cry for yourself--someone said always cry for love never pain.

Intercede into others lives, like he interceded into yours.  Intercede and be a difference maker.

Talk.  Talk to people, to your kids, your family, talk about life, talk about faith and love and be thankful 

Appreciate  Just Appreciate all the good he brought your way. All those years.In all his own ways

Time.  He gave you his time. Remember? The time spent together. The greatest gift, his time.

Everyday.  He is with you every day.  When you speak, when you eat, when you joke, when you laugh, all of that is from him.  You have a part of him in your personality, your blood , your humor, your work ethic,

Everyday..........forever...HE IS .with  you.  DO NOT resuscitate yourself from that connection
