I was just informed that a fellow co-worker's father-in-law just passed away very unexpectedly. She is like an older sister to me so I feel her pain.

I was thinking to myself just how quickly it can all end, and then realized that there is just so much I still want to do, so much I want to see and even more that I want to say to certain people.

I am sure you have all heard this preaching before, but I ask you to really think about it this time.

Just this once.

Just close you eyes and think of all the things you wanted to do, all your dreams and goals. Think of everyone that is close to you, yet you have never said what is truly in your heart to them.

No imagine that they find out you passed away unexpectedly last night for no apparent reason other than it was chosen to be your time.

I know I have some things to do tonight, some things to say as well.

I also know that I will, in time, forget about this moment and this post.

That is why I ask you to do something about it now while you still have the chance.

I always took tomorrow for granted, but now I remember some words... 'if you wake up to see the next day, you have been given another chance'.

I don't know any of you people very well at all, but I do know that every one of you is special and is on this Earth for a reason. What that reason is, is what you have to find out before you die.

Take care.

Thanks for this post hun!! *hugs* Sorry to hear about your friend's father. Losses, especially of somebody that close, are very difficult to deal with, so my heart goes out to all his loved ones.

This post was really refreshing to me, because I always need to have a lil' kick in the butt reality check. I know that if I died tomorrow, I would have lived a VERY unfulfilling life. But yeah...realising that now, and being reminded constantly by occurences like deaths etc., I know that there are a lot of big changes that need to be made in my life.
