Day 6 - Tell Them You Love Them


This morning I attended a funeral for a friend whose son was killed in a single car crash last weekend. It really brings into sharp focus how delicate our lives really are. I know we have fun living the virtual immortal life, and it's often hard to remember how precious the lives of all of those around us are, but remember to take a moment every day and tell those close to you how much they mean to you. Not because at any moment life might be snatched away.. but because they are important and deserve to feel important.

I love you all and wish only the best for you. Oh, and BTW, this is my wedding ring with mine and my husband's birthstones surrounding the diamond, and the necklace was a Mother's Day gift last year, with the birthstones of the four of us. I love to carry the little momentos that are constant reminders of how blessed of a life I really live.

  3. The truth is said here. I couldn't agree more. And while yes.. the virtual, immortal life is very appealing. It's those who I have bonded with here... the mortals behind the immortals who I have come to love deeply and consider true family.
    I love you guys, as well as my blood relatives.
