"I've learned that people will forget what you said, people will forget what you did, but people will never forget how you made them feel."
Some really good quotes there. I can particularly relate to the one about losing your parents.
ReplyDeleteMy father and I had a bumpy relationship for as far back as I can remember; I was always a bit of a mommy's boy.
My dad passed away last December, and wow. There isn't a day that goes by that I don't really and truly miss him, all the bad relationship stuff be damned. I'd love to be able to have him around for just an hour or two more.
Josh: I am sorry for your loss. When I read these it made me think. We need to live each day like it is our last. Thanks for stopping by here.
ReplyDeleteI have a lot to learn.
