Mornin' Y'all *S*
Well, I was going to post this pic of my daughter at some point, but I thought now, yes now...
She was in a bad car accident last night, and by the grace of the Gods is alright !
A drunk front-ended her and her car is pretty much totalled !
So, y'all know what I'm fixin' to say here....treasure each minute you have with your loved one/s and never forget that hug or to tell them how much they mean to you !
Love & Hugs to all my Dear Friends *S*
~ Mina ~

IF I KNEW
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 them back day after day.
If I knew it would be the last time,
I could spare an extra minute
to stop and say "I love you,"
instead of assuming you would 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'll have so many more,
so I can let just 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 just right.
There will always be another day
to say "I love you,"
And certainly there's another chance
to say our "Anything I can do?"
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.
Tomorrow is not promised to anyone,
young or old alike,
And today may be the last chance
you get to hold your loved one tight.
So if you're waiting for tomorrow,
why not do it today?
For if tomorrow never comes,
you'll surely regret the day,
That you didn't take that extra time
for a smile, a hug, or a kiss
and you were too busy to grant someone,
what turned out to be their one last wish.
So hold your loved ones close today,
and whisper in their ear,
Tell them how much you love them
and that you'll 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'll have no regrets about today.

Yes, you never know, that's true. Thank for this beautiful reminder, and I send healing thoughts to your daughter and you. Even if she was not hurt badly both of you got a chock i guess, and a reminder of how fragile life is.

Mina, yours is quite a story. I only can say things happen as they should and we only have to be grateful when we have just a near miss... Your daughter is a real beauty. Thanks for the great poem as well.

Lovely tribute. Glad she's ok... go get a lawyer and make him sorry for being such an irresponsible a**hole. She's cute, too, got her Mother's looks ;-) (",)

I can well imagine the mixture of feelings - shock, anger and relief - onhearing this news. A lovely photograph - and your words say it all in the best possible way. Take care, my friend, and continue to cherish each other. Hugs Mike

Beautiful Image Mina, she looks just like her Mom. I am so glad she is OK, a parents worst nightmare, I know. I have read these words before and always have the same reaction, so excuse me, I gotta call my Kids. 5+5 Peace

Thanks Mena, I lost a nephew, 16 year old Kevin, about nine years ago in a car accident. It wasn't a drunk driver situation but losing someone no matter how can be very rough. I often thought about the things I would have said to him if I knew it was the last time. Since I have made it a point to constantly tell my own children how much I love them. I am glad your daughter is okay. love, daniel

Mina, I agree with the others that you have a beautiful daughter and am happy to read that she's emerged from her mishap reasonably well. It's often too easy to forget the tenuous nature of life ... thank you, ever so much, for the reminder. Hugs!

Beautiful message of "living today" and beautiful pict, thanks of sharing it. Happy that your daughter was'nt wounded, even if to be catched in a car accident is always a hard thing. I had one 27 years ago, my wife was pregnant then of our son, who is now also a Renderosity member, and even if we all survive (thanks to the fact that the car I choiced had a very robust body) and the responsible of the accident was only slightly wounded, very often today I still think to this moment. But these are happy days now, enjoy a shiny weekend Mina.

mamabobbijo
Glad she's OK! I felt this way when five of mine were in the same one! Couldn't speak, I was sure my heartbeat was drowning out all the sound in the world. Thanks so much for this! The words are beautiful and so important. I still couldn't put these feelings to words I shake when I think of it and it's been six years! Thanks again for sharing BJ
