One Moment - Michele Normand

 As we go through life we will have those times where in one moment our path in life is changed forever.  In that moment we are reminded how important it is to not take for granted those in our life.  The moment when all the things we may have complained about before that moment isn't as important anymore. The moment when we would take all those useless things we have been stressed about, worried about, angry about or sad about back to change that one moment.  That moment that turns us in another direction that we don't want to go because we can't see where it leads.  That moment that makes us look down a path where we only see pain, sadness and uncertainty.  Our heels are dug in because it's not where we want to go, but we don't have choice.  The beautiful thing in that moment is that along the edge of that path, like spectators in the Boston Marathon, are those who love and care about us and will be there for us if that path becomes too difficult, to encourage us forward, to hand us water if we become thirsty and to help guide us to the end.
