One day someone's husband died, and on that clear, cold morning, in The
warmth of their bedroom, the wife was struck with the pain of learning
that
sometimes there isn't any more. No more hugs, no more special moments to
celebrate together, no more phone calls just to chat, no more "just one
minute." Sometimes, what we care about the most gets all used up and
goes
away . . never to return before we can say good-bye, say "I love you."

So while we have it . . . it's best we love it . . . and care for it .
and
fix it when it's broken . . . and heal it when it's sick. This is true
for
marriage . . and old cars . . . and children with bad report cards and
dogs
with bad hips and aging parents and grandparents. We keep them because
they
are worth it, because we are worth it.

Some things we keep -- like a best friend who moved away or a classmate
we
grew up with. There are just some things that make us happy, no matter
what.

Life is important, like people we know who are special . . . and so, We
keep
them close!

I received this from someone who thought I was a 'keeper'! Then I sent
It
to the people I think of in the same way. Now it's your turn to send
this
to all those people who are "keepers" in your life.
