It's not often that we tell the people we love how much they really mean to us. I've been trying to do that with my parents, tell them how much I love them and how much I appreciate them and how great I think they are. I tell them I love them everyday, but I don't tell them how important they are and how much they mean to me. You never know when life will end and I don't want to have those words left unspoken.
I recently found out that one of the coaches I socialized with a lot while I was in college has some rare disease and has 6 months to a year to live. He's one of the nicest men. I probably haven't seen him in a year or so but when I do see him, I get the best bear hug from him. I just sent him an email to let him know what a great man he is. It's not often people get to hear the nice things people have to say about them. They often go left unsaid until a funeral, and I didn't want that to happen. I'm sure he's getting a lot of these types of things said to him as of late. He deserves to hear every single one of the kind words that people have to say about him.
I can't imagine what it's like to know that you only have a certain number of days left to live. Sometimes I wish I lived like that was the case. We should all do that, but we don't. Life gets ahead of us and we forget that we're only here for a short time. It's sad. As Tim McGraw says, "Live Like You Were Dying."
