Nothing is sadder then the witnessing the lamentations one feels upon the passing of a loved one.  But compounding that sadness is that moment when the realization hits us on how much that person meant to our lives.  It happens to everyone and has happened to me on more than one occasion.  

Often, as we are going through the grieving process, we second guess the time that we spent with them or the appreciation that we expressed to them, while they were on this earth.  It just seems we are not quite sure that we said enough, did enough, hugged enough, or loved enough. 

That's why it is so important to make sure that we live our lives showing love and appreciation to others.  If we take the time daily to tell those around us how much we care about them, appreciate them, and love them, then we will never live a life of regret.  

Life is not guaranteed.  Take the time today, and every day, to show your love and appreciation.
