PARTY UP :) YOU ONLY TURN 19 ONCE!
Besides that its too early in the day to have much to report. It is a BEAUTIFUL day outside. Blue skies and WARM! A welcome change from the FRIGID WINTER STORMS.
So far all I've done today is-- went to school, sat in some classes, did some homework, read some 'Les Miserables', and some of 'His Final Hours' (as a side note I do have to say books are an enormous blessing)... I went home after school and got ready for work, and now thats exactly where I am. Work. And I'm clearly, very busy ;) So all in all its been a good one so far! I swear its the weather. It'll put anyone in a great mood! ANYWAY,Last night I was reading in the last Conference Ensign and I came back across this poem used in Elder Costa's talk. I LOVE IT. So here it is for all of you to take in.
Tomorrow Never Comes
If I knew this would be the last  time I would watch you sleep,
   I would hug you tighter. I would  plead with the Lord to protect you.
   If I knew this would be the last  time I saw you walk out the door,
   I would hug and kiss you and call  you back to hug and kiss you one more time.
If I knew this would be the last  time I would hear your voice in prayer,
   I would record every gesture, every  look, every smile, every one of your words,
   So that I could listen to it later,  day after day.
If I knew this would be the last  time,
   I would spend an extra minute or two  to tell you,
"I love you," instead of assuming you already knew it.
If I knew this would be our last  time, our last moment,
   I would be by your side, spending  the day with you instead of thinking,
   "Well, I'm sure other  opportunities will come, so I can let this day go by."
Of course there will be a day to  revise things,
   And we would have a second chance to  do things right.
   Oh, of course there will be another  day for us to say, "I love you."
   And certainly there will be another  chance to tell each other, "Can I help with anything?"
   But in my case, there isn't one!
   I don't have you here with me, and  today is the last day we have—our farewell.
   Therefore I would like to say how  much I love you,
   And I hope you never forget it.
Tomorrow is not promised to anyone,  young or old.
   Today might be your last chance to  hold tight to the hand
of the one you love and show all you feel.
If you are waiting for tomorrow, why  not do it today?
   Because if tomorrow never comes, you  certainly will regret for the rest of your life
Not having spent some extra time for  a smile, a conversation, a hug, a kiss,
   Because you were too busy to give  that person what ended up being their last wish.
Then hug tight today the one you love, your friends, your family, and whisper in their ears how much you love them and want them close to you.
   Use your time to say,
 "I'm sorry,"
 "Please,"
 "Forgive me,"
 "Thank you,"
   Or even,
 "That was nothing,"
 "It's all right,"
The past doesn't come back, and the future might not come!
