Giving Thanks

I think the last time I posted this was when Daddy passed away in February. It was in an e-mail he had sent me and I had saved it. It's worth re-posting. A few of us in my family are facing health issues right now, including myself. As Thanksgiving approaches, may we all be thankful for what we have and who we have in our lives. We have today, and God does not promise us a tomorrow. Happy Thankgiving to everyone! ~ Leslie



IF I KNEW

If I knew it would be the last time
That I'd see you fall asleep,
I would tuck you in more tightly
and pray the Lord, your soul to keep.

If I knew it would be the last time
that I see you walk out the door,
I would give you a hug and kiss
and call you back for one more

If I knew it would be the last time
I'd hear your voice lifted up in praise,
I would video tape each action and word,
so I could play them back day after day.

If I knew it would be the last time,!
I could spare an extra minute
to stop and say "I love you,"
instead of assuming you would KNOW I do.

If I knew it would be the last time
I would be there to share your day,
Well I'm sure you'll have so many more,
so I can let just this one slip away.

For surely there's always tomorrow
to make up for an oversight,
and we always get a second chance
to make everything just right.

There will always be another day
to say "I love you,"
And certainly there's another chance
to say our "Anything I can do?"

But just in case I might be wrong,
and today is all I get,
I'd like to say how much I love you
and I hope we never forget.

Tomorrow is not promised to anyone,
young or old alike,
And today may be the last chance
you get to hold your loved one tight.

So if you're waiting for tomorrow,
why not do it today?
For if tomorrow never comes,
you'll surely regret the day,

That you didn't take that extra time
for a smile, a hug, or a kiss
and you were too busy to grant someone,
what turned out to be their one last wish.


So hold your loved ones close today,

and whisper in their ear,

Tell them how much you love them

and that you'll always hold them dear



Take time to say "I'm sorry,"

"Please forgive me," "Thank you," or "It's okay."
And if tomorrow never comes,
you'll have no regrets about today.

Veteran's Day

MyHotComments

Please take the time today to say a prayer for the ones who serve and protect our country and the ones who have served or given their lives for our freedom. Happy Veteran's Day to all of those who have kept our country free. May we never take the gift of freedom for granted.

Here I go again!

Hello there folks. Since I took down my Yahoo 360 site, I have missed not being able to blog (with pics) about my daily goings-on and things that happen with our family. I am trying this out so we'll see how it goes. Welcome to the days of my (our) life be it good or bad!
