You don’t realize how fragile life is
until you hear it’s a deadly disease for someone beloved and your heart skips a beat!
You don’t realize how fragile life is
until you’re at doctor’s appointment hoping
the tests are coming back alright!
You don’t realize how fragile life is
until you find yourself praying to
God for miracles to happen!
You don’t realize how fragile life is
until they say “There’s nothing
more we can do to save them!”
You don’t realize how fragile life is
until you attend a funeral and finally understand that life is a rollercoaster!
You don’t realize how fragile life is
until you know that they’re never
coming back how bad you want them!
You don’t realize how fragile life is
until you understand that tomorrow
is unpredictable and not guaranteed!
So please learn to cherish each moment
that you are given because life is too fragile!

She sure is and I’m grateful we can keep her alive through her words and all of our exchanges. Have a lovely weekend dear friend and thanks for the wishes… I will too!ππ
