Yesterday is the past, Tomorrow is the future Today is a gift, That's why it's called the present.
If something was to happen to you or someone close to you, could you honestly say those you love know how you feel about them? Would you have any regrets about things you wish you had said or stupid things you did say that you never said you were sorry for? Take the time now to tell all your friends and family how much you love them. Tell them how much they mean to you and how they have made your world a better place. Don't let another day pass and not say the things you need to say to those you love. I know everyone gets busy with life's little things and we keep meaning to take the time to do this or say that..but we need to put things in their proper order now. We all should stop and think about what is really important to us. There is a saying that goes "At the end, no one ever wished they had spent more time at the office." Don't waste your time on things that are not important, spend it making sure that you will have no regrets in life. Spend more time with those you love..before it is too late for you and them. We are not promised tomorrow and we never know what the future holds for us. Today is a gift...use it wisely. I learned this lesson the hard way. My father was sick and in the hospital and they couldn't find what was wrong with him. They did surgery to see what they could find, and when they opened him up they found he had cancer. There was nothing they could do for him, it was too far gone. The doctor told us he might not make it through the night. While my family and I were waiting for them to let us go in and see him, I sat there and wondered if he really knew how much I loved him. I don't think I said it often enough and I knew that if he died without me getting the chance to tell him I would live with regret for the rest of my life. My father died two weeks later, but I did get the chance to tell him how much I loved him. I told him how much I appricated all that he had done for me over the years and how my world was a better place for having him in it. Though I still have some regret for not saying it all sooner, I did at least make sure he knew it in the end. I have since taken the time to make sure all the rest of my family and friends know it now.... Please take the time to tell those you love how you feel. Don't wait until it is too late..you never know if you will have another chance... 04/24/98 By Emerald
