Picture based writing

"I wish i would have spent more time with him...
...when he remembered my name"

This is sad to think about. I think we should all live in fear of this every day. Well, not so much in fear of it as just being aware of it. The fact that you have a certain amount of time with the people you love. It could be until they are 80 years old and you've said all your goodbyes and you know it's coming, but who knows, it could be tomorrow. No one knows what the future holds and i don't even think we stop to consider it enough. Live today like tomorrow you wouldn't get to see her again, or hold his hand, or talk to your mom. Live today like it was the last time you got to go fishing with your dad, or play the sport you love with your teammates that mean so much to you, the last day you could give your sister a hug, or tell that person that you love them. Don't wait until it's too late, becuase that day could come so much sooner than you think. Let them know. say how much they mean to you before they are gone and you can only wish. Why wish when you can make it happen now? Don't take that chance. They deserve your time, your love, your words of encouragement while they will still appreciate it. Imagine that person in your life not being there and all the things you wish you would have said to them, or done for them......go do it.

Hey Kayla, I liked your comments. I thought pretty much the same thing about that piece. It would be trajic to lose someone you love and not tell them how you feel.
