What a wonderful article! And, really, that is a question we should ponder then answer regularly.

I’m fortunate to be married to my best friend … we started out as a healthy, active, loved-to-dance-around-the-house couple then, in 2002, our life was turned upside down when I was diagnosed with Lou Gehrig’s Disease.

One thing we have learned is how destructive a serious/terminal illness can be to a relationship. It is vital to take advantage of each day to cultivate a solid relationship, one based on mutual love, trust and respect – because you just never know when you may have to face a traumatic life change.

I truly enjoyed your article!

I would still say I love you and thank you for both your love and your friendship.

David, life really does happen in the blink of an eye. It will be 26 years for Mary Beth and me in a few weeks. So, as you point out, living with gratitude is a good way to spend this precious time.

I’m sure she loves hearing that she’s a gift Dia.

InspiringAlways, I agree. Having “real” conversations helps to keep our relationships authentic and honest.

Thanks for sharing your point of view Riley. I agree with you. This isn’t about about having regret, it’s about taking advantage of the opportunity you have each and every day to reconnect and to restate your commitment and love.
