Tomorrow is not promised

This article is going to be brief and to the point. I have a dear friend and confidant who was in a terrible car accident and is now in a coma. We had been starting down the road to a relationship, and had plans for making it more permanent. Now I stop and wonder at our foolishness. Why did we procrastinate? What was I so afraid of? Why did I let past pain cheat me of the promise of a new relationship?

My advice to everyone - Carpe diem - seize the day.

Sadly, we must recognize that tomorrow is not promised.

Go right now and tell everyone you care about that you love them. Finish any unfinished business. Start any business you should be starting, but are too afraid to get into with people. Get into life. Some things truly CAN'T WAIT.

I have been avoiding relationships for two years now because of the lingering pain of a previous relationship. As a single mom, I've told myself that I am too busy for a relationship. I've made many excuses for not wanting to take the plunge. Please, don't be so timid about relationships that you miss a very special one. Keep in mind, you can always back away, but if you fail to proceed and the person you cared about is suddenly seriously injured or killed, you will regret it for the rest of your life.

Please everyone who reads this, say a prayer for Joseph Crutchfield. Pray for his speedy and complete recovery. He is a very dear, hard-working man, with a kind and generous heart. He is the kind of man that makes you believe in men again. He is just the kind of man the world needs more of.

He once said to me that he would never go to bed mad at his partner. He understood that whatever the problem was, there was an urgency to solving it. He wisely recognized that we can never know if tomorrow will come. I regret that I now understand what he meant. I now know just how precious each day is, how very fragile life can be, and how it can change ever so quickly.

PLEASE - cherish your loved ones. Never take anyone or anything for granted, and please - live your life to the fullest. Always remember: Tomorrow is not promised.
