Love Ya!

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 classmate we grew up with. 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, including the person who sent it if you feel that way.

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
GOD calls me home .....
I LOVE YA!!!

Live today to the fullest because tomorrow is not promised.

Because tomorrow is not promised... Because tomorrow is not promised... Because tomorrow is not promised... Because tomorrow is not promised... Because tomorrow is not promised... Because tomorrow is not promised... Because tomorrow is not promised... Because tomorrow is not promised... Because tomorrow is not promised...

I just read this e-mail reply that I got back from my long lost father.... the one that left my family when I was but 1 year old and he never looked back - I am 40 now.

Now - I don't know what to do, think or how to react........ I just Because tomorrow is not promised...

* * * * * *

(My Name) when I read the e-mail that I just received from you it brought tears to my eyes because I know that I have let too late come too soon more than one time in my life. Right you are! I for one have a lot of wounds that I need to heal. Just a short time before I got your e-mail today I told someone I love you and as you said I got a smile and a I Love You in return before we went our separate way's. You made today special for me and I promise never to forget it. I hope that the wounds that I caused you will be healed some day soon.

I LOVE YOU (His Name)

attentionThis is an old thread. You probably should not post your reply to it, as the original poster is unlikely to see it.
