I “Heard” the Love

September 2, 2010 by maurice   comments (0)

When I was growing up I do not recall hearing the words “I love you” from my father. When your father never says them to you when you are a child, it gets tougher and tougher for him to say those words as he gets older. We must dig a hole To tell the truth, I could not honestly remember when I had last said those words to him either. I decided to set my ego aside and make the first move. After some hesitation, in our next phone conversation I blurted out the words, “Dad… I love you!”There was a silence at the other end and he awkwardly replied, “Well, same back at ya!”I chuckled and said, “Dad, I know you love me, and when you are ready, I know you will say what you want to say.”Fifteen minutes later my mother called and nervously asked, “Paul, is everything okay?”

A few weeks later, said the Elephant Dad concluded our phone conversation with the words, “Paul, I love you.” I was at work during this conversation and the tears were rolling down my cheeks as I finally “heard” the love. As we both sat there in tears we realized that this special moment had taken our father/son relationship to a new level.A short while after this special moment, my father narrowly escaped death following heart surgery. Many times since, I have pondered the thought, if I did not take the first step and Dad did not survive the surgery, I would have never “heard” the love.

In 1978, Tree! Tree! I became a flight attendant for a major airline.Earning my wings was the culmination of a childhood dream that I had set for myself after my first plane ride at the age of five.Like so many others before me,I fell in love with the romance of airplanes,adventure and helping others.I have flown hundreds of flights since graduation,but one stands out among the many.We were flying from Los Angeles to Washington,D.C,when I answered a lavatory call light in the coach cabin.There I found a young mother struggling with her infant.Everything was a mess,to say the least,and the mother,who was near hysterics,told me she had no more diapers or other clothing onboard the aircraft.

Through her tears, Is it an animal she informed me that they had missed their flight the previous night in Los Angeles and because she had very little money,she and her son had spent the night on the airport floor.Since she hadn't expected to miss the flight,she was forced to use up most of her supplies and whatever money she had to feed them.With the saddest eyes I have ever seen she continued.She told me she was on her way to New Hampshire to deliver her son to the family that was adopting him. She could no longer support the two of them.As she stood in front of me,crying, be shown to Aslan holding her beautiful son,I could see the despair and hopelessness on her face.And,as a mother of three beautiful daughters, I could feel her pain.

I immediately rang the flight attendant call button and asked for assistance from the other flight attendants.They brought cloth towels from first class to assist in cleaning up both mom and the infant.I ran and got my suitcase;because this woman and I were about the same size,I gave her a sweater and a pair of pants I had brought for my layover.Then I asked several families if they could spare extra diapers, And I don't formula and clothes for the child.After the young mother and her son had changed their clothes and the baby had gone to sleep,I sat with her,holding her hand,trying to provide some support and comfort for the remainder of the flight.Once we landed,I walked them to their next flight,which would take them to their final destination;separation. I briefed the gate agent and the new flight attendant crew on the situation and asked them to give her special attention.

With tears in my eyes I gave her a hug and told her,"You have shown me the true meaning of courage and a mother's love.I will never forget you."As she thanked me for all I had done she said softly," said the Cabby You're not the flight attendant,you're a sky angel."Touching my flight attendant wings,she continued,"And those are your angel wings."With those words she turned and walked down the jetway,her child in her arms,and boarded the plane for New Hampshire.Though I am no longer a flight attendant,my "angel wings"are still on prominent display in my office.And each time I see them,I am reminded of that young woman,her infant son and the gift that she gave me on that special day - that we truly are all spiritual beings traveling in human form.

Mothers hand

September 2, 2010 by maurice   comments (0)

Night after night, Peinture beauté she came to tuck me in,even long after my childhood years.Following her longstanding custom,she'd lean down and push my long hair out of the way,then kiss my forehead.I don't remember when it first started annoying me — her hands pushing my hair that way.But it did annoy me,for they felt work-worn and rough against my young skin.Finally,one night,I shouted out at her,"Don't do that anymore —your hands are too rough!"She didn't say anything in reply.But never again did my mother close out my day with that familiar expression of her love.Time after time,with the passing years,my thoughts returned to that night.By then I missed my mother's hands, missed her goodnight kiss on my forehead.Sometimes the incident seemed very close,sometimes far away.But always it lurked,in the back of my mind.

Well,personnes the years have passed,and I'm not a little girl anymore.Mom is in her mid-seventies,and those hands I once thought to be so rough are still doing things for me and my family.She's been our doctor, reaching into a medicine cabinet for the remedy to calm a young girl's stomach or soothe the boy's scraped knee.She cooks the best fried chicken in the world... gets stains out of blue jeans like I never could...Now,my own children are grown and gone.Mom no longer has Dad, Duo d'un rêve and on special occasions, I find myself drawn next door to spend the night with her.So it was late on Thanksgiving Eve,as I slept in the bedroom of my youth,a familiar hand hesitantly run across my face to brush the hair from my forehead. Then a kiss,ever so gently, touched my brow.

In my memory,for the thousandth time,I recalled the night my young voice complained,"Don't do that anymore — your hands are too rough!"Catching Mom's hand in hand,I blurted out how sorry I was for that night. Maureen's blog I thought she'd remember,as I did.But Mom didn't know what I was talking about. She had forgotten — and forgiven — long ago.That night,I fell asleep with a new appreciation for my gentle mother and her caring hands.And the guilt that I had carried around for so long was nowhere to be found.

Most people need to hear those "three little words"- I love you.Once in a while,they hear them just in time.I met Connie the day she was admitted to the hospice ward,where I worked as a volunteer. Her husband, Rosalind's blog Bill,stood nervously nearby as she was transferred from the gurney to the hospital bed. Although Connie was in the final stages of her fight against cancer,she was alert and cheerful.We got her settled in.I finished marking her name on all the hospital supplies she would be using,then asked if she needed anything."Oh,yes,"she said,"Would you please show me how to use the TV?I enjoy the soaps so much and I don't want to get behind on what's happening."Connie was a romantic.She loved soap operas,romance novels and movies with a good love story.As we became acquainted,she confided how frustrating it was to be married 32 years to a man who often called her "a silly woman".

"Oh, Queena' blog I know Bill loves me,"she said,"but he has never been one to say he loves me,or send cards to me."She sighed and looked out the window at the trees in the courtyard."I’d give anything if he'd say 'I love you,'but it's just not in his nature."Bill visited Connie every day.In the beginning,he sat next to the bed while she watched the soaps,Later,when she began sleeping more,he paced up and down the hallway outside her room.Soon,when she no longer watched television and had fewer waking moments,I began spending more of my volunteer time with Bill.He talked about having worked as a carpenter and how he liked to go fishing.He and Connie had no children,but they'd been enjoying retirement by traveling,until Connie got sick.Bill could not express his feelings about the fact that his wife was dying.

One day, Rosemary's blog over coffee in the cafeteria,I got him on the subject of women and how we need romance in our lives;how we love to get sentimental1 cards and love letters."Do you tell Connie you love her?"I asked (knowing his answer),and he looked at me as if I was crazy."I don't have to,"he said. "She knows I do!""I'm sure she knows,"I said,reaching over and touching his hands rough, carpenter's hands that were gripping the cup as if it were the only thing he had to hang onto "but she needs to hear it,Bill.She needs to hear what she has meant to you all these years.Please think about it."We walked back to Connie"s room.Bill disappeared inside,and I left to visit another patient.Later, I saw Bill sitting by the bed.He was holding Connie's hand as she slept.The date was February 12. Daphne's blog Two days later I walked down the hospice ward at noon.There stood Bill,leaning up against the wall in the hallway,staring at the floor.I already knew from the head nurse that Connie had died at 11 A.M.ykl

A young man was getting ready, chaussures femmes to graduate from college.For many months he had admired a beautiful sports car in a dealer's showroom,and knowing his father could well afford it,he told him that was all he wanted.As Graduation Day approached,the young man awaited signs that his father had purchased the car.Finally,on the morning of his graduation,his father called him into his private study.His father told him how proud he was to have such a fine son,and told him how much he loved him.He handed his son a beautiful wrapped gift box.Curious,but somewhat disappointed,the young man opened the box and found a lovely,leather-bound Bible,with the young man's name embossed in gold.Angrily,he raised his voice to his father and said,"With all your money you give me a Bible?" Crape myrtle He then stormed out of the house,leaving the Bible.

Many years passed and the young man was very successful in business.He had a beautiful home and a wonderful family,but realizing his father was very old,he thought perhaps he should go to see him.He had not seen him since that graduation day.Before he could make the arrangements,he received a telegram telling him his father had passed away,and willed all of his possessions to his son.He needed to come home immediately and take care of things.When he arrived at his father's house,Spider plant sudden sadness and regret filled his heart. He began to search through his father's important papers and saw the still new Bible,just as he had left it years ago.With tears, he opened the Bible and began to turn the pages.As he was reading,a car key dropped from the back of the Bible.It had a tag with the dealer's name,the same dealer who had the sports car he had desired.On the tag was the date of his graduation,and the words..."PAID IN FULL".

How many times do we miss blessings because they are not packaged as we expected?Do not spoil what you have by desiring what you have not;but remember that what you now have was once among the things you only hoped for.Rose of sharon Sometimes we don't realize the good fortune we have or we could have because we expect "the packaging" to be different.What may appear as bad fortune may in fact be the door that is just waiting to be opened.

Pete Rose,African lily the famous baseball player,whom I have never met,taught me something so valuable that changed my life.Pete was being interviewed in spring training the year he was about to break Ty Cobb's all time hits record. One reporter blurted out,"Pete,you only need 78 hits to break the record. How many at-bats do you think you'll need to get the 78 hits?"Without hesitation, Pete just stared at the reporter and very matter-of-factly said,"78."The reporter yelled back, "Ah, come on Pete, you don't expect to get 78 hits in 78 at-bats, do you?"Mr. Rose calmly shared his philosophy with the throngs of reporters who were anxiously awaiting his reply to this seemingly boastful claim."We Are One Every time I step up to the plate,I expect to get a hit!If I don't expect to get a hit,I have no right to step in the batter's box in the first place!If I go up hoping to get a hit,"he continued,"then I probably don't have a prayer of getting a hit.It is positive expectation that has gotten me all of the hits in the first place."

When I thought about Pete Rose's philosophy and how it applied to everyday life,I felt a little embarrassed.As a business person.I was hoping to make my sales quotas.As a father,I was hoping to be a good dad. Take your smile As a married man,I was hoping to be a good husband.The truth was that I was an adequate salesperson,I was not so bad of a father,and I was an okay husband. I immediately decided that being okay was not enough!I wanted to be a great salesperson,a great father and a great husband. I changed my attitude to one of positive expectation,and the results were amazing.I was fortunate enough to win a few sales trips,I won Coach of the Year in my son's baseball league,and I share a loving relationship with my wife,Karen,with whom I expect to be married to for the rest of my life! Thanks, Mr. Rose
