LET THEM KNOW NOW

you know we tend to go day by day without letting our love ones and friends know just what they mean to us ,it isnt until tragedy or some unforseen death happens that we realize the importance to tell people just what they meant to us ,we tell them once it's to late.
i am guilty of this and so are alot of others how arrogant of us to be so self asorbed not to take a minute make a phone call,write a letter or just go sit with these people whom have blessed us with knowning them and say hey man thankyou for being there thankyou for loving me,thankyou for spending time with me when time for everyone is so short.
life is learning learning is change and change is good i am different now i have learned to let the people in my life know on a daily basis what they mean to me.

Yes, I know what you mean.

I remember Bill Sanchez. I wished I would have stayed in touch. Same with Rick Dubuque. Mr. Erdman my 7th grade teacher.

I don't feel guilty, but just kinda sad.
Very good blog. Unfortunately some times we need to be hit by a truck to be reminded of what we have.
hello ed41

@Leah..... That was so beautiful and heartfelt the way you wrote this, I could feel it coming from your heart.
I have been so guilty of this, holding grudges and having unforgiveness and I know we've had our disagreements in the past but you will always be a friend to me.
Your a beautiful person inside and out don't ever change for anyone!!

Hi Leah, beautiful blog!
Sometimes its very important to take a first step for reunion instead of waiting on second party, very rewarding with possitive emotions and happinessapplause
Hi my friend Leah! Excuse me for what I am about to say. GUADAL....GET A LIFE! WHY ARE YOU SO IGNORANT!doh confused
Leah, yes, before we know it, life is already way pass us and it is important to let all know how much you love them. Not only those that love you but even those that are not aware of any love for them or for others.

Sadly my dearest darling friend, there are so many of them on this world or there would be no more wars, beatings (gudadal, just got beaten so badly two weeks ago and it must have been so hard for him). No more killings and so forth and so on.

The worst thing is that this world is so underrated with people like you my friend.

Now let us go and just smile and love the world..

Take care, you are a beautiful soul..

Love,

Phyllis

You reminded me to call my parents today...so thanks for that...we do need to stop and think about our loved ones before it is too late...wine
a very enlightening thought.... wine joy cartwheel gotta go
Dear Leah, What you said is so true. We never know when our last day is or the last day of a dear friend. This month brought that to my attention.

The first one was the daughter of a family I was friends with at church when I first started going in 1988. They use to sit in the pew in front of me.. They didn't come every week, but my heart lighted up when they were there. They had the most adorable 6 y/o girl named Audrey, who I liked.

I lost contact with them when they moved away..A little more than a month ago, I saw her mother at a funeral service for someone at my church. The mother told me that Audrey got married. I said to the mom, tell Audrey she just broke my heart... This isn't the sad part yet....

This family had 3 girls, Audrey was the middle child. I can't remember the youngest one named Grace..

On march 17th, Grace killed herself. She was only 25 years old. Even though I can't remember her, I am crying as I write this. I feel broken inside because their family was so dear to me. I feel robbed of ever having a chance to know Grace. And wondering if I was there, if my friendship would have made a difference in her life.

When you do see someone, even people who are always smiling, you never really know what they are struggling with on the inside.... You might think saying hi just made their day... Maybe it did, but maybe some times hi is just not enough...

That hi might have been the only thing they got all week..and Hi might be the only thing they ever got from another human. Some times you just need more..

Someone to spend quality time with... Or just hold your hand and say nothing at all..

May God bless you all.
