One day a
woman's husband died, and on that clear, cold morning, in the warmth of their
bedroom, the wife was struck with the pain of learning that sometimes there
isn't "anymore". No more hugs, no more special moments to celebrate
together, no more phone calls just to chat, no more "just one
minute." Sometimes, what we care about the most gets all used up and goes
away, never to return before we can say good-bye, say "I love you."
So while we have it, it's best we love it, care for it, fix it when it's broken
and heal it when it's sick. This is true for marriage ....And old cars... And
children with bad report cards, and dogs with bad hips, and aging parents and
grandparents. We keep them because they are worth it, because we are worth it.
Some things we keep -- like a best friend who moved away or a sister-in-law
after divorce. There are just some things that make us happy, no matter what.
Life is important, like people we know who are special.. And so, we keep them
close!
Suppose one morning you never wake up, do all your friends know you love them?
I was thinking...I could die today, tomorrow or next week, and I wondered if I
had any wounds needing to be healed, friendships that needed rekindling or three
words needing to be said.
Let every one of your friends know you love them. Even if you think they don't
love you back, you would be amazed at what those three little words and a smile
can do. And just in case I'm gone tomorrow.
I LOVE YA!!!
Live today to the fullest because tomorrow is not promised.
