It is so easy to get these things confused, especially in the materialistic world that we live in. How often have you heard "I love my new car, dress , house etc etc". And how little we hear "I love my child, grandchild, spouse, neighbour or friend". Perhaps it is just me but I seem to hear the first sentence a lot more than I hear the second, and I have been guilty of expressing my love for my car, house etc. I sometimes forget that cars, houses, clothes can be replaced, whereas a child, parent, or friend cannot be replaced. I have a difficult time letting go of "things"; things seem to represent security and safety. Yet I wonder what the person who has just been diagnosed with a life threatening condition thinks. How many of them think " I really want to put on my new dress that I love", very few I would think. If and when this happens to me I hope there will be person who I love and who loves me that will hold me at that moment.
