I don’t normally blog unless I have something to say or want to get support but my friend send me this poem or saying.  I thought it was good so I wanted to share.

To realize
The value of a sister,
Ask someone
Who doesn’t have one.

To realize
The value of ten years,
Ask a newly
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 gave birth to a stillborn.

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.

To realize
the value of a friend or family member:
LOSE ONE.

Remember…

Hold on tight to the ones you Love
Life may not be the party we hoped for,
But while we`re here dance

    Yes, it is in a sense a tough poem, ins’t it? I particularly like what you make of it, Tasha. This is it, this is the party, so we better make it a good one, for us and for those around us. I believe that there is no greater satisfaction than living by our principles, especially if and when the times get tough. I give kudos to everyone you can pull it off - being strong and being kind at the same time.
