June 11, 2010
In one of my older blogs I remember talking about “Living life abundantly”
because you never know what can happen. This past week has reminded me about
this to the highest extremes. Last Friday my Father suffered a heart attack.
When I recieved the news it was like getting shot in the back, punched in the
face, and kicked in the ribs all at one time. My cousin, who got the call
from my Dad, told me when I got to the hospital that he was already in
surgery. I felt helpless and betrayed all at the same time. I felt helpless
for the fact that there was absolutley nothing I could do but pray. Most
people, including me, are used to being in positions where you can somewhat
control the outcome of the situation. Then when you're put in situations
where you have no control, it's tough to compensate and adjust. I also felt
betrayed because I felt my Dad didn’t deserve this. If you have ever been
around my Father ,you would know he is one of the most loving men in the
world. If he considers you a friend or if you're family, he will be with you
through the trenches and back. I just felt that something like this didn’t
deserve to happen to him.
This past week has put so many things in perspective for me. The long days
and nights in the hospital gave me time to sit and reflect on what’s really
important in life. Although I do love basketball and it’s the second love of
my life, I would be able to live and function without it because I’m much
more than a basketball player. If I had lost my Dad, or anybody else in my
family, that night, I can't say the same regarding my ability to live and
function. My family is my world. I love them more than life itself. Sometimes
I think in American culture we tend to forget that because the media tends to
stray away from that. Media focuses more on what sells rather than whats' the
truth. By no means am I saying that's a bad thing, because they have to
provide for their families as well, but its' easy to get lost in their
message. So hopefully after your done reading this, you're able to sit back
and realize the gift of family and life, and take full advantage of both.
Your family is something that no one can take away from you. Enjoy them! We
all end up leaving this earth sooner or later. We should take advantage of
what we have now -- which is our Family.
My Father is blessed. He was able to survivethe heart attack and is supposed
to make a full recovery. Hopefully, this will serve him a wake up call that
he needs to change his diet and find ways to better maintain his health. He’
s always adjusted to different situations; I'm sure this one won’t be any
different.
Take care, Be safe, and Live life Abundantly,
JB
P.S.
I’ve recived many emails from last weeks blog and will answer them on the
