RP from NWR - I live in London and I have a thought for you all today

These past few years have been shocking for me, and I would think for most of you too - I spent such a happy, safe childhood never even imaging such horrible things could ever happen in this world. But if nothing else, Sept. 11th, the Tsunami at Christmastime and now, this morning's terrorist attacks, have taught me that anything can and will happen.

I spent half of this morning thinking that my husband was dead. Thank god I was finally able to get in touch with him to find he and his colleagues were safe and sound. I'm not looking for pity or for hugs or anything. I just want everyone to think about how they live their lives. Don't take any days for granted. When I hadn't heard from DH this morning I thought about how I was half asleep when he walked in last night and I didn't bother to get up and greet him and talk to him before he came to bed. I thought about how he nearly left this morning without saying goodbye because he was running late, and how I nearly let him go, but I yelled at the last minute, No Kiss? and he came running back up the steps to give me one.

Please, don't let today go by without telling those people who need to hear it that you love them. Please don't bicker with your loved ones over things that don't really matter in the long run. Don't not take public transportation because you're scared. Please go on your trips to Europe or on your honeymoon and make memories to last forever.

Beautifully said, I too try to live everyday as if tomorrow may never come- its hard with daily stress, but with this world so messed up now, you just never know. I am so happy that DH and his pals are ok- and that no one close to you is injured. I will continue to say prayers for those not so lucky, Please be careful over there as we all should be-
