What if there isn't anymore!

This was sent to me as an email...and it's something I think of so often.
Why wait to tell someone what they mean to you, or the impact they have
had on your life until it's too late....Don't waste another minute...tell those you love just how you feel.

WHAT IF THERE ISN'T ANYMORE




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!



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?



Let every one of your friends know you love them. Even if you think

they don't love you back. And just in case I'm gone tomorrow:



*I LOVE YA!!!

*

Live today because tomorrow is not promised.



*"My mission in life is not merely to survive, but to thrive; and to

do so with some passion, some compassion, some humor, and some style"
