To all My Friends and Lovers at the Connection

I usually don't forward this kind of stuff, but my daughter Tina sent this to me this afternoon. I've been very melancholy for quite awhile and thought I would share this with you.


-------------------------------------------------------------------------

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?

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 YOU!!!

Live today because tomorrow is not promised

 

Ok, seriously, I'm tearing up. Thanks for sharing, Hal. If you and Cindy are in the area again, let me know so we can have lunch/dinner. It's been a while.

 

Very true Hal.....we never know what we had till it is gone...

 

Thanks for reminding us all of the important things in life Hal.

C'mon Hal, the love is there, it's only the girls that want you to say it all the time.

 

Sent you a PM so we could hook up while you're in town and share some love :love:

I love it, thanks for sharing Hal!!!!

 

thanks for sharing hal........

 

Very true and so easy to "forget" in our hectic everyday lives. Fact is that nothing at all matters, except for our loved ones.
