Hey, it’s Mark.

Let me ask you something that might stop you in your tracks:

When was the last time you did something… for the very last time—without even knowing it?

I’m not trying to get morbid here. I’m just being real.

Maybe it was the last time you:

• Sat in your childhood bedroom
• Read your kid a bedtime story, prayed with them, tucked them in… and then one night, they stopped asking
• Played fetch with your dog before they slowed down
• Walked out of your old job, not knowing you’d never return
• Hugged someone… and didn’t know it was goodbye

For me, this one hits hard.

In June of 2022, I lost my mom to Alzheimer’s. Two days later, I flew home and—without realizing it—I saw my dad for the very last time. He passed away unexpectedly in April of 2023.

It crushed me.

But it also reminded me of something important:

We spend so much time chasing what’s next… we forget to honor what quietly ended.

We don't always get a warning. No countdown. No closing ceremony. Just… the last time.

So take a breath today.

Slow down just long enough to notice the ordinary things—the stuff that might not feel like much now… until it’s gone.

Because the magic of life isn’t just in what’s ahead.

Sometimes, it’s in what quietly slipped behind us.

Here’s to living with eyes wide open.

Let me know if this stirred anything in you. I read every reply. 🧡

With clarity and care,
Mark
