Let me ask you something ... when you woke up, got ready for work, and left this morning, were you rushing around? Were you thinking about your day, what you had to do, where you had to be, who you had to talk to? Did you say goodbye to your kids/husband/fiance/boyfriend, etc.? Did you hug them or kiss them? Did you tell them you loved them? Did you do it in passing, or did you take the time to really show them you mean it?
Now let me ask you this ... if you knew that this morning was the last time you were going to see this person or the last time you were going to kiss them or tell them you love them, would you have done it the same way? My guess is no ... I can tell you in my experience, my answer is no. If I knew a week ago what I know now, I would have done it all differently, so so differently.
Hindsight is 20-20. I should have savored the moment. I should have given one more kiss, said I love you one more time, hugged a little harder, lingered a little longer. I should have, I could have, but I didn't, and now I can't, no matter how much I want to go back and re-do it.
Things change in an instant. So when you get up tomorrow, pretend as if it were your last morning together, and do it right. And each morning hereafter, pretend it is the last, because ... well because you never know if or when it will be.
Be present in the moment, cherish the moment, and live everyday like it is the last.
