Keeper.

Got this in an email forward... I corrected some of the errors, but not all. I liked it, and it is actually something I think we could all do a bit better.



One day someone's mother died.

And on that clear, cold morning, in the warmth of
her bedroom, the daughter was struck with the pain
of learning that sometimes there isn't any more.

No more hugs, no more lucky moments to celebrate
together, no more phone calls just to chat, no more
"just one minute."

Sometimes, what we care about the most goes away--never to return--
before we can say "good-bye," or "I Love You."

So while we have it, it's best we love it . . . and
care for it . . . and fix it when it's broken . . . and take
good care of it when it's sick.

This is true for marriage, and friendships, and
family.
And children with bad report cards; And dogs with
bad hips; And aging parents and grandparents. We
keep them because they are worth it- because we
cherish them.

Some things we can keep, like a best friend who moved
away, or a classmate we grew up with, or a co-worker
where you used to work.
There are just some things that make us happy, no matter what.

Life is important, and so are the people we know ...
So love them and keep them close.
