"Give them roses while they can still smell them"

I don't know who said "Give them roses while they can still smell them" but it sure makes sense. Who are the people that we most care about that each day we let slip by without acknowledging their existence, sharing our hearts and thoughts with them?

It's sad when you think about it isn't it? You wake up, get into your weekday or weekend routine almost in robot mode. Most of us never think that this moment that you look at your spouse, you child, mother, sister, brother, best friend could be the last time that you ever get the chance to express your thoughts and feelings toward them. I believe that is how most people, when something does happen, have issues beyond the normal grief that one feels at a loss.

So my message today, I think you already get it. Make today Mother's Day, Father's Day, Valentine's Day, or someone else's Special Day. Take the time to write that Thank you note, send flowers or a card "just because". After all, aren't those the most special reasons and the most appreciated too! Yes, tomorrow IS a new day, but let's not waste the one that we have been given today as the Present!
