Real friends are hard to find; at least they are for me. Once you have my friendship, you have a friend for life. My friends are like family, when one of them hurts, I hurt. I received some bad news earlier this week about a great friend of mine. He was involved in a motorcycle accident. This accident has put him in the hospital under critical care. He has currently been placed into a medically induced coma. The doctors have attempted to relieve the swelling on his brain through two surgeries. Now, we sit and wait.
While waiting, I began to ask myself some important questions. Do my friends know how much I love and care for them? It is common for me to tell my family that I love them when we speak. But, I had to ask myself, how consistently do I tell my friends that I love them. Yes, I do say it. But, do I say it enough. Even more, do I show it? I would like to think that all of my friends know how important they are to me but, when something like this happens it makes you think. With the hustle and bustle of everyday life, it is easy to take something for granted.
Take a moment today and make sure that those you love, know you love them. Don't pass up this opportunity to share your feelings. We never know what tomorrow holds. Remember~ life is not measured in moments of time, but in timeless moments.

Sometimes, we don't think about what people mean to us until something happens. When my mom was diagnosed with non-hodgkins lymphoma a few years ago, I realized that I never said "I love you" when I saw her or talked to her on the phone. So, now, I make sure I say it every time I see her or talk to her (Dad, too, and my siblings). I make a conscious effort to let them know how I feel about them.
