For my loved ones . . .

Love ya..
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 and care for it and 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 grand parents. 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
classmate we grew up with. 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!

I received this from someone who thought I was a 'keeper'! Then I sent
it to the people I think of in the same way. Now it's your turn to send
this to all those people who are 'keepers' in your life, including the
person who sent it if you feel that way. 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 GOD calls me home .....
I LOVE YA !!!

Live today to the fullest because tomorrow is not promised .

Learn from yesterday, live for today, hope for tomorrow. -- Anonymous
