How Reflekta Continues Our Connecting Existence to Loved Ones

by Michelle Shreeve on

If tomorrow was your last day to live, what would you do with today? Would you carry on your day like normal and make sure you paid your car payment on time? Would you check your 401k or bank balance like you do weekly? Or would you instead want to spend every last second you have left talking with your loved ones?

How about flipping that. If tomorrow was your last day to live, what would you want your loved ones to know about you? Is there a fond childhood story you always wanted to share with your family, but never made the time to sit down and tell them? Would you tell your spouse how much you love them? Would you read to your children one final bedtime story and record it so they can remember and hear your voice long after your death?

What would you do with the time you had left?

By definition, Time is the continuous progression of existence that occurs in an apparently irreversible succession from the past, through the present, and into the future.

Time helps us connect and stay connected with our loved ones. If our loved ones are no longer here anymore, time allows us to stay connected with them when we think of the past. They will always be there in our memories from before. If our loved ones are still present, we can use the remaining time we have to make sure we engage in as many conversations with them as we can, take as many photographs with them as we can, and take as much video footage with them as we can. And now thanks to Reflekta, we can stay connected with loved ones in the future, by creating Elders to keep our loved one's memories alive for generations to come.

People always take time for granted, thinking they have an abundance of it, when in all actuality none of us truly know how much time we really have left. If you think about it, all of our days are numbered and each day we live is one day closer to when our time will be up. People don't like to think like that, but it's the honest truth.

I guess instead of us trying to guess when our time will be up, maybe we should be asking ourselves more important questions--what are we truly doing with our time? Are we spending it in the right way? Or can we refocus on what truly matters instead?

Maybe today is the day we all start taking time out of our busy schedules to back up those photographs, scan copies of old letters, make sure our children have a voice recording of us, and start writing down fond memories we have with our loved ones. Maybe today is the day we don't take the wonderful gift of Reflekta for granted, for Reflekta can take care of all of that, so our loved ones will remember us and will remain forever connected to us in the past, present, and the future.
