my 2nd cousins wife passed away last saturday she was 58, she had cancer, however died of a heart attack. she was the caretaker to her 2 young granddaughters, her daughter passed away a few yrs ago. they were living in a camper at a campground, she died there.
what i think of most when i think of her is this, she was a happy woman, she was happy with nothing. she just went on her way to make the best of everyday with nothing.
maybe we dont need to have so many things, maybe with less things we would need less money and we wouldnt have to spend so much time working to make more money for more things?
i was a singe mother for many yrs , i couldnt afford not to work but i didnt want work to be my life, i wanted a life. i still work part time.
i have this arguement with my mother often, that is, my uncle would refuse to work weekends, and even though they didnt own anything she couldnt understand why he didnt want to work on the weekends to make more money. his reply was, i work 5 days a week 40hrs. my weekends are my time with my kids.
my father worked from sun up to sun down, we had everything, the only time we saw dad was when he took us on vacation, thank god dad is still alive and we get to enjoy him. wouldnt it have been a sin for that man to die working hard to give us everything when what we treasure most is the times with him that we have now.
