Vee’s Inspiration June 11, 2025

My Dad responded to my morning Inspiration today.  He sent me a message giving me a fatherly reminder.  He wrote,

Good morning Son.

Sometimes it’s better to listen to your body.

That “still, small voice” beckons you to be wise.

Love you.

Dad

Thank you for the advice, Dad. But then I get to work and find out one of my Real Estate Attorneys passed away yesterday. After spending all day on Monday in meetings with her it feels surreal.  It makes me want to live every day to its fullest.  I love the excitement of training and the mental clarity I find while in discomfort.  Trust me Dad I understand your words of wisdom, because your wisdom has helped me get from there to here, but damn Dad,  life is so fleeting and fickle, I want to do all the things I enjoy doing because I’m scared tomorrow will not come.  I want to say “I love you to all the people I love, and I miss you to all the people I miss.”  Damn Dad, me and my Attorney were not best buds, but she was a part of my team and I quietly mourn our loss of her.  Damn Dad,  I'm suppose to be the leader of this fantastic group of Men and Women and all I can think about is that one of them won’t be here anymore.  Damn Dad, I get what you are saying, but I want to fill each second of each minute of each hour of this day with everything I wish and want to do.  Damn Dad, this is that Mohamed Ali phantom punch that cause Sonny Liston to lose grip on reality.  Damn Dad, losing a member of my team so unexpectedly has shook me.  But I’m resilient and will stand still, just for a moment until I need to move forward.   Dad, I heard your counsel and will be mindful of doing too much, But today is a reminder that there is so much I still want to do and yet there is no guarantee that there will be time to do it.

Dad, thank you, I'm not complaining just expressing my grief of losing a team member unexpectedly.
