As I sit and think about life, I cant help but think about if there are things left unsaid. Today I just found out a friend is making a decision to ‘release’ her mother by turning off the life support. It saddens me on different levels. However, it reminds me that we should continue to let our loved ones know they are loved and we are here NOW. No more games. No more “I called him last so he better call me next”. No more “I spent enough time with him/her this week, so I’m good.” If your heart prompts a feeling to see someone, reach out to someone or simply call or text… do it. As adults, we should all know better. We know tomorrow or the next minute and hour is not promised. Live as if we are in our last minutes on this earth.
Take a brief moment to tell someone you love them. Tell your family that even though you don’t see eye-to-eye, you are thinking about them and loving them. Accept people for what they are; good, bad or indifferent.
AMEN.. preach. I recently lost my Father during the Christmas holidays. We may tell ourselves that we are busy and will go visit or call later however you may never get later. It doesn't take much to just pick up the phone and say "hi! just checking on you." Tell those close to you that you love them.
