The Value....

This was sent to me yesterday by a very good friend. I am always amazed that other people can write and know what I think all the time.

To realize the value of a sister
Ask someone who doesn't have one.

To realize the value of ten years
Ask a newlyDivorced couple

To realize the value of four years
Ask a graduate

To realize the value of one year
Ask a student who has failed a final exam

To realize the value of nine months
Ask a mother who gave birth to a stillborn

To realize the value of one month
Ask a mother who has given birth to a premature baby

To realize the value of one week
Ask an editor of a weekly newspaper

To realize the value of one minute
Ask a person who has missed the train, bus or plane

To realize the value of one-second
Ask a person who has survived an accident

To realize the value of a friend or family member LOSE ONE

Time waits for no one
Treasure every moment you have
You will treasure it even more when you can share it with someone special.

Remember... Hold on tight to the ones you Love, Life is too short for drama and petty things.

and of course my favorite is...want to realize the value of four months...try chemo.

The last one sure did bring a smile to my face. She is a breast cancer survivor and I am very proud of her.

Tell someone you love them today, hug a friend, family member, pet a dog or jsut smile!

Have a great day!!

I don't remember anything in CJ's paperwork, when he enlisted, that said his choice will cause his mom to want to be hooked up to a PINA COLADA IV!!

You are rooting for the Giants? Good lord woman!!! And I thought you were damn near perfect!!

It's probably good you can't watch the game - one less person screaming at the TV for the Giants.

CJ will do his best to get his room as homey as possible - but he is male and I think they care slightly less than a female.

Off to lay down - still a bit tired but feeling much better!
