Five More Minutes. Review on Five Gifts You Would Like to Receive

Five More Minutes

My wife of only 15 months, passed away on

September 15, 2001. She was 37 years old and

not only was she my my wife, but my best friend,

my Teacher, my student and my world.

If I could have 5 gifts given to me, it would be

very simple. I would only ask for 5 minutes of time

to say all the things that I’ve said to her before,

just one last time.

Minute ONE: Just to tell her how much I appreciated

her grace, style and putting up with me.

Minute TWO: To re-inforce my belief in her as a woman

and a person.

Minute Three – To tell her how much her family,

friends and I will miss her. How much she was loved

and respected by all of us.

Minute FOUR: To hold her in my arms, hug her,

kiss her and tell her how much I loved her and

how I will ALWAYS love her.

Minute FIVE: To wish her eternal peace and comfort.

May Catherine rest in peace.

All of a sudden, there aren’t enough minutes left.

Please convey these thoughts to your loved ones

before it’s too late. You can never know what will

happen next. Regret, words left unspoken and deeds

left undone will haunt you forever. I was

fortunate enough to be able to convey all of the

above to my “Cat” before she passed. Please don’t

miss any opportunity you still have to express

yourself.
