Best Friends!

How many times have you gotten really mad at your best friend over something really petty and you go days, maybe even a week or so without talking to them and when you do get around to talking again neither one of you knows why you where mad at each other? It happens to all of us, we never want to think about them not ever being there to talk or text us, and we just assume they will always be around. Well they might not be there next time you pick up your phone or jump in your car and stop by their house. I’m speaking from experience! I lost my best friend and her four year old son in a tragic accident on a day that was supposed to be just a fun filled Saturday at the mud pit. We never made it there; instead we ended up on the side of Manito blacktop saying good-bye to each other after a seventeen year friendship. That day I lost my best friend! She isn’t at the other end of the phone when I pick it up and dial her number, she doesn’t message me anymore on facebook, and she doesn’t stop by my house just to hang out anymore. I miss her dearly, and I now think of the petty arguments we had or the phone calls I ignored thinking I could just call her back another time. Every one will have disagreements, and get mad at their best friend sometime in their life, just remember to be careful of what you say and don’t take your time together for granted.

Dont take it for Granted!!

We are all tired at the end of the day and when we finally get the kids to bed and sit down to finish up our own things before we can get to bed, we can always count on hearing that sweet little voice from down the hall say again for the thousandth time "I LOVE YOU MOMMY"! and we sigh cause we know that little boy should have been asleep awhile ago, but dont forget to say it back!I know I would never want any of my children to fall asleep doubting my love for them, even though Im almost positive that he is just saying it as a way to keep himself awake, I dont know that for sure, it could be maybe he was thinking of something that happened during the day that I wasnt there for, or maybe he is thinking of something that scared him and he just wanted to make sure Im still there and he is safe. Either way, you never know when or if you will be able to say it again, or if they will be there to hear it! Cherish the time you have with your loved ones because it wont last forever!! Dont take them for Granted!
