Hug those you love and tell them how much they mean to you
Edited on Thu Jan-10-08 09:21 PM by lizziegrace
I found out a family member died unexpectedly last night. Lelapin and I will be going to the memorial on Sunday.

This isn't about Jim. He means the world to those who knew him, as you do to those who know and love you.

Life is short. Give hugs. Apologize when you've hurt someone (and mean it). Know that today could be your last chance.

That's all. :hug:


on edit - please, please learn CPR...

1. You're so right.
It's easy to lose sight of what's really important.

I'm sorry for your loss.

This man was a member of my extended family. He was a coach, a teacher, a principal and the kind of person I wish I could be. His family is devastated. :(

8. Excellent advice.
I am sorry for your loss.
The loss of someone close
tends to put things into
perspective.

CPR - I was an EMT for years.

15. My dear lizzie...
What a terrible loss...

My heart goes out to you and lelapin...

And you know I always tell my loved ones that I love them...

And I hug when I can...

Life is too short for temper, or anger, or anything that divides us from those we care about...

Safe passage to Jim...

Hugs for you both during this sad time...:hug: :grouphug:
