Life. We have no idea of its value, no understanding of its importance, until it is nearly snatched from us. That loved one we so casually ignore, or assume will always be there, will someday be gone.
We interact with one another saying, “See ya later”, and if we’ve taken a step away from them, we wave and continue without pausing to turn back, and hug them goodbye.
As family, we always assume, there will be a “next time”. We assume that person “knows” we love them. We take for granted they will be there that next time. We can call them later. We will see them another time.
Never leave someone you love without a hug goodbye, without looking them in the eyes and purposely, from your heart, tell them you love them. Always squeeze a hand, rub a shoulder, offer a soft kiss, because that next time may not come. Tomorrow may not arrive for them, or for you.
Life. God gave us life to love one another. Get busy loving. You don’t have a minute to waste, but you may have a lifetime of regret.
