Life is too Precious!

This past month Brandon and I have been busy planning, taking our engagements and just traveling up to slc to visit family and such. Since the day we have been engaged we haven't been apart from one another! And lately I keep having these spontaneous thoughts and they all started after I heard the song "Never Gonna Be Alone" by Nickleback. I love spending time with Brandon, I miss him the second I pull out of the drive way. I cant see my life without him and I dont know how I got through life before him. We just found out that one of our close relatives has Leukemia in her brain stem. She and her husband have been together for quite some time and just by watching them you can tell they are still madly in love with each other! Her husband takes such good care of her, making sure that she has the best medical doctors and making sure she's comfortable. I get teary eyed just thinking about it, but I started realizing that every day that passes by is a day that she's getting sicker and thats a day that they wont get back. Then I started to realize that even though i'm not sick, each day that passes is another day that I cant get back. I look back at my life and thought of how many days I was grumpy, or sad, or mad at someone for the littlest thing, or maybe it was the biggest thing and I kept a grudge. Whatever it was I now understand the importance of life and how special it really is. I'm really going to try from now on to not be so negative in certain situations and just love everybody! Life is too short to wake up in the morning with regrets. Love the people who treat you right and forgive the ones who dont. You should believe that everything happens for a reason and if you get a chance... take it! It may change your life and you should let it! He didnt say that it'd be easy, he just promised it'd be worth it!
