OK...I'm back!
Thought about this all day, yesterday...and wouldn't ya know, it was the first thing that popped into my head as soon as I woke today. So, here it is. This is the only thing that kept coming to mind whenever I thought of this thread...
I've said it before and I'm sorry to be repetitive, but...Mom always told me that if you love someone (doesn't necessarily mean a lover), be sure to tell them and tell them often. There may come a time when you can no longer tell them...and regretting not telling them will haunt you the rest of your life! Case in point...I didn't get to see my father just before he passed. I just got back to Pa. from Fl. and was looking for a home. I could have said to hell with everything...dropped it all...and made the trek to N.J. to visit him while he was in the hospital...but I didn't because I thought his stay would be brief and I could visit later, when he went home. I spoke with my sister (who was watching over him), but never directly to him. He died suddenly and totally unexpectedly from something other than what he went in the hospital for. I hadn't spoken to him for nearly 6 months and now I never had the chance again. Oh sure, I had told him before that I loved him and had forgiven him for past differences...but, I could have told him one more time...and I didn't!
So...if you mean to say something to someone...SAY IT NOW...DON'T HESITATE! Who knows? A bus could run you or them over and you'll not have the chance if you or them are flat as a pancake!
And BTW...I love you guys!!!!!!!!
