Presentation Transcript

Slide 1: 

Today, after 21 years, I finally realized that the religion my parents raised me in Is preventing me from being me.

Slide 2: 

Today, when a telemarketer called and asked for my father, It made me smile. Because even though I was too young when he passed to remember him, I still miss him and I love being reminded of his existence.

Slide 3: 

Today, I clung to my mother’s hand as her life peacefully faded. And I felt like her passing was akin to the ending of a fine novel a story I will never forget

Slide 4: 

Today, as I sat beside my grandfather while he rested in the hospice bed, he softly grasped my hand and asked, “Why did I take so many days for granted?”

Slide 5: 

Today, as they teased me and laughed hysterically, I just wished they could see the world through my eyes.

Slide 6: 

Today, as I baked my own birthday cake for my 16th birthday, I realized just how much I miss my mom.

Slide 7: 

Today I watched my 3-year-old daughter play with her friends. And I realized the world is still a beautiful place.

Slide 8: 

Today, I went to visit my dad. And as I stood at the foot of his grave, I realized that what I miss the most are the little things he'll never teach me.

Slide 9: 

Today, I could have saved her life when she called to tell me she needed to talk. But I told her I was busy and needed to call her back later. I didn’t realize there wouldn’t be a later.

Slide 10: 

Today, even after all of the abuse, when the phone rang, I still hoped it was him.

Slide 11: 

Today it really sucked that my only true friend out of the 100 people in the room, was the one lying in the casket.

Slide 12: 

Today, I left her a voicemail I know she’ll never receive. But I just had to hear her voice one last time.

Slide 13: 

Today, as I read the email I sent to myself four years ago, I desperately wished I could go back and talk to the boy I used to be.

Slide 14: 

Today, after the diagnosis last week, I found out I don’t have cancer.

Slide 15: 

Today, my water broke at my husband's funeral.

Slide 16: 

Today, I had to go to a funeral for a 26 year old co-worker of mine. He and his widow just got married last year, just bought a house last month, just had a beautiful baby boy last week. And then just like that… he was gone.

Slide 17: 

Today, all of these things… They made me think.
