Cherish Them
I woke up this morning & took a walk. I was smiling. It was snowing. All was well with the world. Then I got some news. A colleague of mine was on vacation in India & yesterday she got a call to come home. Her parents were in a car accident. Her mother died instantly & her father is in a coma.
That is how fast everything can change. You blink & life is never the same again.
We always think there will be time with the ones who matter to us. We don't kiss them just because or tell them we love them without a reason. We get embarrassed by the gesture or disarmed by the risk. But time is not something we can manage & there is never enough of it.
Before my dad died, I convinced myself there would be more time. There wasn't. And I'll live with that regret for the rest of my life.
Cherish the ones you love while you have them because once those moments are gone they are gone forever. Hug someone today, don't wait until tomorrow, it may not be there.
