“Would you rather” is a game that you play to see how daring people can be. Would you rather eat this or that? Would you rather wear this or that? Would you rather go here or there?
Well, our everyday life isn’t a game. If we asked the question, would you rather have Davey with us on Earth or in Heaven? We may all jump at the chance to have him here with us, again. Why wouldn’t we want him here? For one more laugh, one more hug, one more smile.
However, I think about how thankful I am to have him in Heaven. I am thankful that he is safe. I am thankful he is there with God. I am thankful he is there watching over and protecting us. I am thankful for the signs he gives and the jokes he plays on us. I am thankful to know I am never alone.
And as he is looking down at us, I hope he would be proud of where we are in our lives. Proud for the changes we have made and the people we have become. It is true that you become a different person when you lose someone so special.
And so, in the end, the question of “Would you rather?” should best be left to topics like what to eat or wear. Because in our everyday life, it is not always that easy to answer.
