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. 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
