Dear Mom:
I like to think of you as my mom, even though I will be 64 next month. I install medical alert devices, so I am with seniors all day long. Most of the time, they have just lost their spouse and they are getting my product because they are now alone. Sometimes I hear about their regrets, like not having been patient or loving enough with their loved ones. It's sad because there's no going back.
So I have developed the 'One Week Test' for my husband. Whenever I feel irritated or impatient with him, I ask myself, how would I be reacting to this if he had one week left to live?
It helps to put things in perspective and really shows you what is important and what is not. I've been listening to you since the very beginning! Your wisdom and guidance are the reasons for my happy marriage.
Take care,
Ann
