“Often we don't realize what we have until it's gone. Too late we wait to say I'm sorry, I was wrong. Sometimes it seems we hurt the ones we hold closet to our hearts and allow foolish things to tear our lives apart. Far too many times we let unimportant things into our minds. And then it's usually too late to see what made us blind. So be sure that you let people know how much they mean to you. Take time to say the words before your time is through. Be sure that you appreciate everything you've got. And be thankful for the little things in life that mean a lot.”
