What Happens If...

My best friend recently lost one of her sisters and another friend's brother had a horrible accident at work and lost his hand and they got me to thinking and reflecting...and crying too!

What happens if...you forget to tell someone you love them and it's your last chance? (Whether it is a family member, a significant other, or just a friend) Do they still know that you loved them, or is that a forever lost admission. It is said you can feel when you are loved, so does it need to be spoken? And can you say it too much that it loses its meaning?

What happens if...you don't get to say goodbye? Will you ever get closure if something happens to that person before you see them again? My Mom passed 20 years ago and I didn't make it to the hospital to say goodbye and to this day, I still have a hard time with it.  

What happens if...you don't make that right turn and you miss something? Was it meant to be or just an act of fate? Are you the master of your own fate, or is it already spelled out for you?

What happens if...you have an argument with someone and something happens to them? Can you live with the fact that was the last thing you said to them? That's why I HATE conflict, and I always make sure when I argue with someone, I make sure before we are done, they know I still love them, but don't agree with them at that particular moment in time.

Because if I have learned nothing else in my 41 years on this planet, it is that nothing is promised to you. You never know when you won't be waking up in the morning. Tomorrows are not promised, they are given to you as a gift, so cherish them as such. Tell those around you how you feel, spoil yourself if no one else will, and remember there is always someone out there that loves you more than you may love yourself!!!

Be blessed, my friends and classmates!
