Aelia, that's a good question and one I've pondered alot since the night he told me he had terminal cancer. Strange that we have to stop and think about not taking life for granted, isn't it? I mean we go through our days, doing what we need to- work, school, shopping, cooking, parties with friends, whatever it is we do. But how many of us stop and think of things like the simple fact that we have the ABILITY to do those things? How often do we just take things for granted? I think that was Animal's final message to us.

So in my life now, I stop to really appreciate the little hugs with my husband, or a friend. The fact that we have each other is a blessing in my life- Animal's passing and the fact that he was so young and had so much he still wanted to achieve.. well it makes me appreciate everything about my life more than I had before. The little things are important, they really are.

Tell your spouse, friend, mother, brother, anyone who is special in your life, that you love them. [img]graemlins/ladyhearts.gif[/img]

Help a friend move, invite a neighbor for dinner, take your kids to the park even though you might prefer to play NWN or go to the pub. Stop and think about how the little things you do or don't do can mean alot to others.

Bungleau, that is so nice that you spent the time with your daughter...I like to think that is truly what Animal's message was all about. Don't take anything for granted, you OR the other people in your life, may not be there tomorrow.
