We all live our lives, looking and waiting for the next moment, that next exciting event or great achievement.
When in reality what we should really do is live for and cherish the present moment and strive toward a happy tomorrow.
I came to realize this with the illness of a loved one. He became ill, was intubated and his recovery is going to be a long road.
With this in mind I have learned to cherish every moment. Whether it be sharing a meal, watching a TV show, or just listening to him breath and softly snore while he sleeps. Every single second I have with him means the world to me.
I now realize that tomorrow is not promised and that those you love and care for can be taken away in the blink of an eye. It can happen so unexpectedly that it can shatter your view of reality.
With this, I ask that all who read this, please take a moment, tell your friends and family that you love them. Let them know what they mean to you, cherish every second that you have with them. Because tomorrow is never promised.
Be kind to one another and share life with each other.
With that said, learn to love yourself and others.
