Jo, you are so right about this - we really only have today and we best make the best of it - so that we do have memories - anything can happen to any of us.
I agree....a couple we have known for quiet a while and knew the husband had been sick for some time died a while back and it really hit home....she misses him everyday but she has great memories and I realize I do too....I hope my hubby is around a long time, but everyday I realize it could be his last and I don't let the little things bother me anymore.....I have great memories and hope to continue to make them with my hubby.....thanks for sharing this.
