 I learned that we should cherish the ones we love, because we may not get another chance to do so. I learned that it's never silly to say, "I love you." I learned that we should hug the ones we love a little tighter and a little longer. I learned that we should stay in touch with family and friends for they are often taken away from us too soon. I learned that it's important to forgive. I learned that time won't wait for us so we should reach for our dreams now. I learned that when we touch someone's life, our name is engraved in their heart forever, and we're never forgotten. I learned that everyone has a special purpose even if that purpose is simply to love and be there for others. I learned that life is eternal and love is immortal. I learned that if we wait to say or do those little thoughtful things for others, we may find that it's too late. I learned that we must let ourselves cry in order to heal. I learned that we should find a reason to celebrate life each day. I learned that with the passage of one life, another is ushered in. I learned that even grief comes with blessings for it brings hearts closer and binds them tighter. I learned that healing comes through remembering--not through forgetting. I learned that when someone is taken away from us, another gift of love is sent to us from heaven. I learned that no one is ever lost for their love lives on in our hearts and in our most beautiful memories. I learned that grief isn't everlasting but goes through evolutions and phases, and it gets a little lighter each day. I learned that life is a journey with hills to climb and road bumps to get around, and between the smooth stretches, there will always be repairs to make, tanks to fill, and obstacles to get past. But even when the way isn't easy going, life is our most precious gift and we should make the most of each moment. |
