The Last Time.
If I knew it would be the last time
that I'd see you fall asleep,
I would tuck you in more tightly
and pray the Lord, your soul to keep.
If I knew it would be the last time
that I see you walk out the door,
I would give you a hug and kiss
and call you back for one more.
If I knew it would be the last time
I'd hear your voice lifted up in praise,
I would video tape each action and word
so I could play it back day after day.
If I knew it would be the last time
I could spare an extra minute or two,
To stop and say "I love you"
instead of assuming you KNOW I do.
If I knew it would be the last time
I would be there to share your day...
well I'm sure you will have so many more
So I can just let this one slip away.
For surely there's always tomorrow
To make up for an oversight,
and we always get a second chance
to make everything aright.
There will always be another day
to say our "I LOVE YOU'S",
and certainly there is another chance
to say our ANYTHING I CAN DO'S?
But just in case I might be wrong
and today is all I get,
I'd like to say how much I love you
and I hope we never forget...(that)
Tomorrow is not promised to anyone
young or old alike,
and today may be the last chance you get
to hold ypour loved one tight.
So if you are waiting for tomorrow
why not do it today?
for if tomorrow never comes
you will surely regret the day.
That you didn't take that extra time
for a smile, a hug,or a kiss
and you were to busy to grant someone,
what turned out to be their one last wish.
So hold you loved ones close today
and whisper in their ear,
tell them how much YOU LOVE THEM
and that you will always hold them dear.
Take time to say "I'm sorry"
"please forgive me", "thank you" or "it's okay",
and if tomorrow never comes
You will have no regrets about today.
I hope you like this poem and just know how much YOU
MEAN TO ME and HOW MUCH I CARE ABOUT YOU.

Memories, thank God I have lots of those.
Went in my filling cabinet in the basement, and got a big bundle of emails from when I was on treatment, in 2003-2004 and started reading our messages that we wrote daily.
She was indeed my gardian Angel..
She would do her preaching at the end of each one, Drink water, eat, rest, Drink, eat, rest, every messages for a year.
What a darling women.
If only I could have helped her more, maybe I should have notice this coming.
It's hard to say.......
Nighty night everyone....Mck
