KEEPERS

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
> sister-in-law after divorce. 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 I'm gone tomorrow.
>
> I LOVE YA!!!
>
> Live today to the fullest because tomorrow is not promised..
