"Pick the day. Enjoy it - to the hilt. The day as it comes. People as they come. The past, I think, has helped me appreciate the present - and I don't want to spoil any of it by fretting about the future."

You NEVER EVER know what the future will hold. EVER. My dad was re-married for 16 years before they split 2 years ago. Her name is suzie and she and I didn't really get along when I was younger. She had 2 daughters of her own, what did she need me for? But anyway, mute point. She and my dad are still friends. It was a clean and easy break. But I was just informed this morning that her cousin's son died last night. We all went on family trips together to Lousiana. We had birthdays together. We celebrated things like 4th of july and other small holidays together. He was an only child, 21 years old, and they have no idea how he died.

I don't know about you but stories like these always make me think f the things that I take for granted. I could be gone tomorrow. Would I have told my parents that I loved them enough? Would my brother know that I care for him more than anything? Would I regret anything that i did or didn't do?

Here's what I WOULD know...
1. That I'm a nice person. Or at least I try to be
2. I've tried to tell people how much I care about them as much as I could
3. I would regret not having fallen in love but really what is love in your early 20's?
4. I would be glad that I had great best friends who I know would do anything for me
5. I would be glad that I got to know my brother girlfriend (hopefully soon fiance!) by living with her and hanging out with her and being her friend before I was her sister.
6. I would regret that I didn't spend as much time with my grandparents as I should have
7. I would be glad that I had changed my attitude from angry and miserable into bright and shiny!
8. I would be sad that I didn't hug more people. Hugs are the best.
9. I would be glad that I was making myself healthy
10. I would hope that I had a positive affect on at least 20 people that I came into contact with in my life.

What if you didn't wake up tomorrow (I don't mean this to be sad but if you really think about it it could just change your life)? What would you regret? What would you hope for? What would you be happy that you did? What would you regret not doing??

Think about it, then change it. You have the chance to do it. why wouldn't you?

I feel for you. I'm so sorry this happened, but I'm happy that you reflect on it this positively, that's not easy. You're stronger than you know. May the sun shine on you even thru the rain... You're sentiment has had a positive effect on me today. Thank you.

Ashley, thank you so much for sharing with us. I am so sorry to hear what you are going through. You are such a strong and beautiful person inside and out. Many people twice their age never once think about what you are feeling. My father passed away last year and I regret to this day that I didnt do more. I know there could have been more to have said before he left. I dont ever want my children to feel that. You might not know this but I've never been a touchy feely kinda person and its very difficult to express my feelings to anyone. But for some reason you guys here make me feel so open and honest. Not one person outside of here has ever heard me encourage or support them like this. My kids are an exception. But Im getting better there to. Again, thank you Ashley. If you ever want to talk - I'm here.

That's a very mature and beautiful post Ashley. Don't underestimate love at any age though.
