Last Words

It is interesting how quickly life passes.  Becky and I went and visited my mom's parents, in Orem, Utah.  They are getting older and their age limits what they can do.  We could see the frustration that they felt that there were many things they cannot do.  As we left their home, after giving them a hug and a kiss, I wondered how much longer they will live.  I loved on my grandpa and as I walked down the hallway, I felt in my heart that his days are numbered on this earth.  That caused me a little bit of sadness.  I visited with him, all alone, for about fifteen minutes and I told him that I loved him so much.
Take just a moment and think about your own family.  Go through and take an inventory of your relationship with each member and ask yourself, "Did I show, and tell each person that I loved them?" 
Because so much happens, in such a short amount of time, you can never be sure that there will be a 'next' time to see them and express your love for them, in this life.
Make the best of every moment.  The wonderful times spent with family will always create long-lasting memories that will always remain embedded in your heart and mind.
