How many of us had dreamed of being super heroes when we were younger? Pulled between imagining magic powers and wishing we were older so we could do whatever we want and “oh how perfect life would be”. It’s true when they say to be careful what you wish for…
Well growing older and being an adult has turned out to be much different than what we expected with the exception of a gift. A super power if you will. One we never expected and some of us may not realize we own. We must only use this power for the greater good but that can be to lift others from the darkness as well as shock those who need to see the light. Hands down and unexpected, our gift is the experience of our loss…Saying that hurts but it is true…
You and I know it exists, our super power. Like all super heroes, it haunts us until it helps us. I’ll admit that I have used it for good and I have used it to win a battle. We have the gift of experience. Sometimes I have helped by using my superpower to show others that there is a future after loss. Sometimes I have used my superpower to strike guilt and fear into those that take life for granted. I have never liked saying things that make others uncomfortable but I feel it is part of my journey to share my “loss gift” to make the world a bit more appreciative. We can share what we have gone through by inspiring others, who have not lost, to cherish what they still keep. I wish I had a superhero back when I had Tin. I would have worked less, complained less and enjoyed my time with him much more. Don’t hide your superpower my friends because Humanity needs us…
