No Regrets

I received this from Flylady todayand I must share it with you! Maybe there is someone in your life that needs to hear from you?! I can think of a few in my own! I will start with my husband and boys! "For the Son of man is come to seek and to save that which was lost." - Luke 19.10

Dear FlyBabies,
Don't ever assume that you have all the time you need. You don't .
Don't put off what you can do today.
I lost my step-dad a few days ago. I found him in the position that
he died. This is not a pleasant fact. I will constantly be thinking
"Maybe I could have done something".
Do not assume that you can tell those you love what you need to tell
them tomorrow. TELL THEM NOW. Make it a point to get your words to
them as soon as possible. It may not help them but it will help you.
My parents were going through a divorce and my allegiance was
naturally on the side of my mom. This did not diminish the love and
respect I had for my step-dad, it simply skewed my vision. There were
times that I could have simply called him, or made time to spend with
him, but I Did not. For that choice, I will have to deal with the
repercussions.
Please make sure that your family comes first, plain and simple.
There are no caveats, no excuses, nothing. MAKE SURE YOUR FAMILY
COMES FIRST. You can deal with the extraneous stuff after the fact.
You never have the chance to get back time lost. You never have the
chance to get back loved ones lost. You can only do what you can do now.
Please take these words to heed. They will serve you well.

FlyLady here: Lee and all of us can learn an important lesson!
Don't sweat the small stuff; what doesn't matter just doesn't matter.
Laugh every day; even if it is at yourself.
And here is the main lesson.
Love like there is no tomorrow!
This love is not just in words but in actions. Show your family you care in simple ways; Pick up the phone, fix a meal or just go visit. Your actions will speak louder than words.
Remember nothing says I love more than your presence in someone's life. My sweet darling has a routine for calling his Mother every week. She expects his call. Robert's sister calls on or about the same time too.
Is there someone you have not talked to in a while? Send them a note, give them a call or just show up at their home. You can start the love flowing again.
{{{HUGS}}} to Lee. It is not easy to lose a loved one at any time especially during the holidays.





You are not behind! I don't want you to try to catch up; I just want you to jump in where we are. O.K.?
