Could've, Would've, Should've !


Time has really gotten away from me. I didn't realize it had been so long since my last post. Funny how time always gets in the way. This happens in life all the time!
We're too busy to visit our friends or family; need to work, it's too far, too much to do, etc. We always have excuses for why we can't. And, then, life happens!
While we're busy doing, stuff happens. People we love get sick, or have some family tragedy. Or, in same cases, they may pass way too young. And then, all we're left with is the "could've", "would've", "should've"s. Regrets, guilt and disappointments.
September 11th is such a reminder of that!
Make the time. Enjoy the memories. Remember the best part of life.

Yesterday my cousin posted old family photos on Facebook. Priceless reminders of a simpler life when we "had the time". Get-togethers in our Grandparents basement, funny stories of the things we did.
Most of the people in those photos are no longer with us. But, we have priceless memories of those times together.
We never know where life will lead us. We never know when someone's time with us will be over. Cherish, Embrace, the people who are so important to you.
The day will come when all that is left is a faded photograph and memories.
