S05E069, When It’s Gone, It’s Gone! Andy B 2 Minute Video

It’s a great feeling when you finally fix something yourself; there is an immense sense of satisfaction when you hear that final ‘click’ as something goes perfectly back into its proper place.

I’ve seen that happen a few times, and it’s always very satisfying!

In life there are some things that we simply can’t put right. It doesn’t matter how hard we try – we just can’t make fix it or repair it.

When we lost our daughter she was just 11 weeks old. There was nothing I, or we, could do to prevent her death. It was utterly out of our control and it took me many years to finally work through that pain and loss and before I was ready to allow my wife and I to consider trying for another baby.

There are times when saying sorry is simply no longer an option, or even appropriate, to say.

In those times we have a single, healthy, choice to make. And it is the same choice whether it’s a video we’ve recorded, and subsequently lost, or the fracturing of a friendship or relationship.

That one healthy choice? It’s to let go!

When we lost our daughter, it took me years to reach the point of being able to let go. Sometimes life ‘stuff’ happens and we find ourselves utterly unprepared.

But I had to accept that I had lost my video, and I had to accept that I had lost my daughter.

I’m not being glib, or fickle, here - losing a video is not the same as losing a daughter! But it is the same action that we need to take on both counts – we need to choose to let go.

Just a thought…
