Wise words.

LOVE YOU,
I know that one morning I will never wake up...
and I thought to myself "do all my friends know how much they mean to me and how much I care for them"
I was thinking....I could die today, tomorrow or next week,
and I wondered if there were any wounds needing to be healed, friendships that needed rekindling or three words needing to be said.
I thought that I should let every one of my friends know that I love them.
Even if you don't love me back, it is amazing at what those three little words and a smile can do. And just in case I get called home before I see you again....... I LOVE YOU!!!
Live today to the fullest because tomorrow is not promised. The Will of God will never take you to where the Grace of God will not protect you.

Are you sure that Volla engen is not the cause of this thread?
Jokes aside Bennie, thanks for you kind thoughts and I look forward to meeting you sometime.

You will be surprised about just how much LOVE there actually is on the FORUM. Look at the Accident thread, 90% of the people have never met yet when one of us gets hurt everybody hurts.
Maybe it is just me but if i am at the airfield and i see a plane go down i will do everything in my power to assist.
Love you too buuuudddy

F A M I L Y
I ran into a stranger as he passed by,
"Oh excuse me please" was my reply.
He said, "Please excuse me too;
I wasn't watching for you."
We were very polite, this stranger and I.
We went on our way and we said goodbye.
But at home a different story is told,
How we treat our loved ones, young and old.
Later that day, cooking the evening meal,
My son stood beside me very still.
When I turned, I nearly knocked him down.
"Move out of the way," I said with a frown.
He walked away, his little heart broken.
I didn't realize how harshly I'd spoken.
While I lay awake in bed,
God's still small voice came to me and said,
"While dealing with a stranger,
common courtesy you use,
but the family you love, you seem to abuse.
Go and look on the kitchen floor,
You'll find some flowers there by the door.
Those are the flowers he brought for you.
He picked them himself: pink, yellow and blue.
He stood very quietly not to spoil the surprise,
you never saw the tears that filled his little eyes."
By this time, I felt very small,
And now my tears began to fall.
I quietly went and knelt by his bed;
"Wake up, little one, wake up," I said.
"Are these the flowers you picked for me?"
He smiled, "I found 'em, out by the tree.
I picked 'em because they're pretty like you.
I knew you'd like 'em, especially the blue."
I said, "Son, I'm very sorry for the way I acted today;
I shouldn't have yelled at you that way."
He said, "Oh, Mom, that's okay.
I love you anyway."
I said, "Son, I love you too,
and I do like the flowers, especially the blue."
FAMILY
Are you aware that if we died tomorrow, the company
that we are working for could easily replace us in
a matter of days.
But the family we left behind will feel the loss
for the rest of their lives.
And come to think of it, we pour ourselves more
into work than into our own family,
an unwise investment indeed,
don't you think?
So what is behind the story?
Do you know what the word FAMILY means?
FAMILY = (F)ATHER (A)ND (M)OTHER (I) (L)OVE (Y)OU
