You Think You Have Time....

When my husband died at age 35 I saw how close we are to our death.
How we are separated by a second.
How our hearts can beat one moment and stop the next.
Yet we live life as if we will never die.
We live as if we have eternity by our s
ide.
We forget to laugh.
We forget to love.
We forget to breathe.
We live for another day.
For someone else.
For the future.
Even though it might never come.
And we might never get to live.
We forget our mortality.
Today I ask you to remember this is your only day.
This is your only life.
And you deserve to feel alive.
