Remote for life

Remotes.

How many of these do you have in your house?

If you are like many house-holds in our country right now you probably have many of them. We don't have as many as most just because we aren't really into electronic gadgets. Still, we have enough to get remotes confused.

I want a new remote, but the kind I want doesn't exist.

I want a remote for life.

I want to be able to have a little more control over things, like time. What I could do with such a thing. Just think of the possibilities.

Pausing a perfect moment. Slowing down a wonderful day. Even muting a person that is driving you crazy (hey, if you got it use it, right!).

It wouldn't be often that I would use the fast forward button. Life goes by way to fast as it is. It is very rare that I am wishing time away. But this past weekend I could have used that fast forward button many times. It would have come in so handy.

Thursday night when I was waiting to hear from Chris who was at the emergency room getting a cat scan. (He found out he has two hernias and a blockage and that he would need surgery to fix them).

Friday afternoon when my niece was having surgery to remove an infection that she got weeks after having her wisdom teeth out. (She did great and is recovering nicely)

Friday evening when I was waiting to hear from my best friend who went to the hospital with severe stomach pains.

Friday night when Chris went into emergency surgery because one of his hernias became an emergent situation. (Everything went very smooth and Chris has been recovering fantastically and quickly)

Saturday when I found out my best friend was going in to the hospital for tests because things in her body were showing that something could possibly be VERY WRONG! (Things look more positive but still no definite answers.)

And right now, as I am waiting for my best friend to get out of the first surgery of (hopefully) only two. She will be in another one tomorrow and I will be wishing for a fast forward button then too.

So, as you can see, that button would have gotten a lot more use over the past few days then ever before. But also, the slow down button would have gotten a lot of use for the great moments the last few days. There have been many of those too.

Like watching this little guy play with his barn which he loves.

I don't really wish there was a remote for life as that is not how life is supposed to be, but sometimes I can think of the possibilities, right?
