In Case I'm Gone

 

One day a man's wife died, and on that clear, cold

morning in the warmth of their bedroom, the husband 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 and 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, children with bad report

cards, 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.

 

Suppose one morning you never wake up, do all your

friends know you love them?

 

It's so very important to let every one of your friends

know you love them, even if you think they don't love

you back.

 

For one day we will all be gone.
