I recently visited Jen's blog and as I was reading through, one of her post caught my interest and it led me into deep thinking. She posted the following question that the author Stephen Levine asks,
"If you had an hour to live and could make only one phone call - who would you call, what would you say, and why are you waiting?"
That is such a powerful message!
Who knows what we are waiting for? Perhaps we want to believe we will live forever, or that "someday" we will get around to telling the people we love how much we love them. Whatever the reasons are, most of us just simply wait too long.
Remember 9/11? How many of those passengers do you think made their one final call to their loved ones? How many weren't able to? We don't need a tragedy like 9/11 to make us tell our loved ones how much we love them and how much we care.
Now, why are you waiting?

Hi,
I am coolingstar9, life is unpredictable.
Today, I read the sad news, whole family died except 2 mths old baby.
This was a car accident, now a baby without parents, brother, how sad.
So, we need to treasure every moment.
I have the same feeling as you.
Have a nice weekend.
Wow, that's sad. I feel sorry for the poor little baby.
But it's true though, a lot of people today seem to forget how important it is to treasure every moment.
hi lourdz... actually when i read that quote... it hit me right there and then... i began to think of how much time i have wasted for not showing how much i value the people around me...and i thought that everyday must be a day of expressing our love for we might never have enough time...
thanks lourdz!!!!
