“Now”

Now. The time to celebrate, love, hug, kiss, help or appreciate someone is now. Not when they are dead. By then, your name or any precious memories will no longer roam in their head. You will simply cry over their empty bed while you choke on all the words you wish you would have said.

You can choose to reach out now. Don’t know how? Ask a friend who’s lost a parent. They may show you how. When they reach out to you, give them your attention as there may be important and life changing things they would like to mention.

Enjoy their presence now. Tell them how much you appreciate them for who they are. A mistake we often make is to see someone only as a cash cow. If you are healthy and able, enjoy with them all that heaven and earth will allow.

Yes. The time is now. You might be right when you see nothing but blue skies ahead. Remember, death has a way of disguising a black cloud over our head. One minute we are enjoying life and the next minute we could be dead.

Why wait until someone is laying in a coffin to bring them a bouquet of roses or even a single flower? You can do so much more now. Don’t wait until their final hour.

The time is now. All we have is now.
