As my parents grow older I appreciate each moment I get to spend with them because I realize that they won’t always be around for me to spend time with.

As I sat listening to them talk I couldn’t help but think to myself how those moments they had with their friend that just died are now so incredibly valuable to them…those moments have become valued memories.ĭon’t you wish we could appreciate each moment as it was happening rather than often times waiting until there is a tragedy or something is taken away from us to truly appreciate it? I know that I do. They then began sharing memories of this friend of each of the times he had impacted their lives for good.

My husband’s older brother and his family came to visit us today. “Sometimes you’ll never know the value of a moment until it becomes a memory.” ![]()
