I would like to dedicate this site to a
very "special" man.
My oldest brother Claude.
His life was cut way too short by cancer on his 44th birthday, July 16, 1999.
I know he's in a much better place now, and although I know I never said it often enough,
I hope he knows how much I will always love him.
"If I knew..."
If I knew it would be the last time
that I'd see you fall asleep, I would
tuck you in more tightly and pray the
Lord your soul to keep.
If I knew it would be the last time
that I see you walk out the door, I
would give you a hug and kiss and call
you back for one more.
If I knew it would be the last time I'd
hear your voice lifted up in praise, I
would video tape each action and word,
so I could play them back day after day.
If I knew it would be the last time, I
could spare an extra minute or two, to
stop and say that "I love you," instead
of assuming that you KNOW I do.
If I knew it would be the last time I
would be there to share your day, well,
I'm sure you'll have so many more, so
I can let this one slip away.
For surely there's always tomorrow
to make up for an oversight, and we
always get a second chance to make
everything alright.
There will always be another day
to say our "I love you's."
And certainly there's another
chance to say "Anything I can do's."
But just in case I might be wrong,
and today is all I get. I'd like to
say how much I love you and
hope we never forget.
Tomorrow is not promised to anyone,
young or old alike. And today may
be the last chance you get to hold
your loved one tight.
So, if you're waiting for tomorrow,
why not do it today?
For if tomorrow never comes,
you'll surely regret the day,
that you didn't take that extra
time for a smile, a hug, a kiss.
And you were too busy to grant
someone, what turned out to be
their one last wish.
So hold your loved ones close today,
whisper in their ear. Tell them how
much you love them, and that you'll
always hold them dear.
Take the time to say "I'm sorry,"
"please forgive me," "thank you" or
"it's ok." And if tomorrow never comes,
you'll have no regrets about today.

This was sent to me, as an email by a
friend shortly after my brother passed away.
It had such meaning for me, I decided to
make a page out of it. Hope you enjoyed it.
Why not send this to all the people
you care about. Let them know how you
feel...TODAY...just in case,
tomorrow should never come.
