There Are No Accidents

Posted by thecoachinglighthouse on April 22, 2009 at 12:53 AM

I have been contemplating "There are no Accidents" for the past few days, well years really. But the last few days have been most intriguing for me because I have a friend that is ill and is striving to stay alive. I met Heather almost 3 years ago and learned that she has Cystic Fibrosis, a disease that effects the lungs.

 

Right now Heather is in the hospital recovering from one of her many trials in physical health and I got to thinking about how I met her, the course of our friendship since then and all that she has taught me. I have learned much about gratitude, attitude is everything and perseverance since she stepped into my life. I was blown away on how much meeting her has enriched my life. I was feeling a bit selfish realizing this because I was not sure if she had received anything of great value from me. So I asked her today if she has received anything from our friendship and she said yes, the biggest thing for her is that I do not judge her and I accept her for who she is. What a great compliment!

 

The thing is, there are no accidents in life. The people in my life are put there when I need them or when they need me. And when there is nothing more to receive from the relationship/gift we move on, permanently changed for our experience. Truly amazing!

Yes! I certainly agree. I believe that you and I will remain in some contact for a very long time.
