No guarantees

There are NO guarantees in life..

There are no guarantees in what ever you do so just do the best you can and approach each day as if it may be your last and do not take for granted those around you that care about you because the same goes for them.

Back in 1985 my wife and I were married for close to five years and had a 2 year old daughter, we had recently purchased our first house, life was good. Then our phone rang one December day and we were told that my wife's mom was murdered. She was in her early 40's and had just opened up her own retail store, she was working one night by herself and a career criminal that was just let out on parole from MA walked in and changed all of our lives forever.

So many things changed in one phone call, in one instance for a whole host of people including her young grandchildren and unborn grandchildren and now great grandchildren. She was ripped from our lives without warning. She had the greatest smile and was kind to everyone and my kids will never know her.
My wife never had a chance to say good bye, the family all tried to remember the last conversation that we had. This was before cell phones and video camera that are attached to everything now so we do not even have video to look at to remember her laugh.

DO NOT take today for granted, DO NOT take your loved ones for granted. When you leave the house or hang up the phone be sure to always end it with I LOVE YOU. Tell them you care, show the them.

Look up and look around and enjoy the little things. And for heaven sake do not waste a day wining or complain over something trivial .....there are no guarantees -don't waste the day.
