Values

This came up on Facebook this morning. Alan Osmond posted this on his site in regards to losing a family member. I liked this message. A good question for me to ponder. Where do I spend my time and what do I value.

REALIZE THE IMPORTANCE OF VALUES

To realize the VALUE of a sister/brother,
Ask someone who doesn’t have one.
To realize the VALUE of ten years,
Ask a divorced couple.
To realize the VALUE of four years,
Ask a graduate.
To realize the VALUE of one year,
Ask a student who has failed a
final exam.
To realize the VALUE of nine months,
Ask a Mother who has given birth
to a still born.
To realize the VALUE of one month,
Ask a Mother who has given birth to a
premature baby.
To realize the VALUE of one week,
Ask an editor of a weekly newspaper.
To realize the VALUE of one minute,
Ask a person who has missed the
train, bus or plane.
To realize the VALUE of one second,
Ask a person who has survived an accident.
TIME waits for no one.
Treasure every moment you have.
You will treasure it even more when you can share
it with someone special.
To realize the VALUE of a friend or family
Member,
LOSE ONE.

I lost my 21 year old son 17 years ago--sure puts life in perspective.

I lost my first husband to cancer at 25. I know how it feels.
