Hug Them Close

Last night a friend from a message board posted that her husband had passed away. It came as such a shock. After all they are young, with young children at home. It reminded me how we were never given the option to purchase a warranty on life. No one ever said we would get to grow old together. After sitting all night wishing there was more I could do, I started thinking that I should go hug my loved ones and never let go.
There are days that we are so done with dealing with each other, but yet I would give anything to have those days. At least we have the chance to get upset with each other. How many others are out there saying they would give anything to have a fight with the one they loved if it meant that they would have them one more day.
So today, take time to hug that rotten child that spilled food on the floor, kiss your spouse, even though he/she may have forgotten to pick up their dirty clothes, or something else that gets under your skin, and be grateful you can clean up after them.
