Joy, of The Joy of Six, and I have met, through the auspices of Ronni, at Time Goes By. We haven't actually met face to face, but that could happen. Joy and I both live in suburban Chicago.
Joy blogged today about the one year anniversary of her husband's death, and I encourage you to go read what she had to say.
Just after reading her blog, I found the message below in my mail. It seemed serendipitous, and worth posting.
LOVE YA
One morning you will 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 GOD calls me home before I see you again....... I LOVE YA!!!

It's something we all need to remember. None of us know when our time will be up. I hate the thought of leaving a loving message unsaid, don't you?
