Never too late…

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 any more. 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, or 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 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.

I received this from someone who thought I was a ‘keeper’! Then I publish this story here so I can reach more people and to remind them of the person they might taken for granted… it’s never too late to let that special someone know what you feel.

Suppose one morning you never wake up, do all your friends know you love them?

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……

To all my friends out there… my cousins, and my other relatives…. I just want to tell you all that you’re all important to me…

And to my newly found friends here in the blogosphere… to Kath, Nika, Lex, Pao, Ate Maru, Ate Kengkay, Kuya Selvo, Jojitah, Malen… and special mention ko rin po si lordmanilastone…. to all of you guys salamat for the kindness and for the friendship po…

And to my honey of course…. I want you to know that I love you… so much…
