Tomorrow is too late...

 

My Grandma is no more…

Like I was saying in my last post, we have people in our lives; people we love so much, people we don't love that much, people we are not sure we love at all (oops), people we care about and so on.

There are people in my life that I am no longer so close to or that in touch with not because I hate them or love them less but because something created a distance between us. Not a bad experience, a grudge or argument; just a certain silence. And slowly we've drawn apart and for some, we've even come back to the stranger line.

Some I have promised to visit, some I have promised to give a call but for some I haven't come good on those promises. For some I have just fallen silent.

A friend once told me they were tired of checking up on people and visiting and caring with none of it coming back to them. But I guess, to truly love is to give without expecting returns. May be that can be quite difficult sometimes but when you let it flow from in there, it will always be worth it even when it doesn't seem like it.

Communication is the fuel that powers relationships. With less of that there is less of the other. With every step in the direction of "less" will eventually be withering and most likely death.

I find it a shame to once have had a great relationship and for it to wither with no apparent cause; just the silence.

What has my grandma got to do with this? I hadn't seen my grandma in a long long time. Can’t even figure out how long it has been. And some people from my family and I kept reciting a song that went, "oh, we should go see grandma.”

We kept singing but didn't act. And now she's gone just like that. And even the few nice memories I had had with her are but fading coz they are from way back. I don't exactly have something recent to look back to.

I am thinking I need to stop singing similar songs, "oh I need to go check on D, I need to give C a call.”

What I need to do is act.

This reminds me of something someone once shared with me; I'll share it with you:

If you are mad with someone and there is nobody to fix the situation, you fix it. May be today that person still wants to be your friend and if you don't, tomorrow can be too late.

If you're in love with somebody but that person doesn't know, tell him/her.May be today that person is also in love with you and if you don't say it, tomorrow can be too late.

If you really want to kiss your family members (bro, sis, mum, dad) kiss him/he. May be that person wants a kiss from you too, and if you don't kiss him/her today, tomorrow can be too late.

If you still love a person that you think has forgotten you, tell him/her. Maybe that person has always loved you and if you don’t tell him/her today, tomorrow can be too late.

If you need a hug of a friend, ask him/her for it. Maybe they need it more than you do and if you don’t ask for it today, tomorrow can be too late.

If you really have friends who you really appreciate, tell them. Maybe they appreciate you as well. That if you don’t and they leave and go far away today, tomorrow can be too late.

If you love your parents and never had the chance to show them, do it. Maybe you have

them here to show them how you feel, that if you don’t and they leave today, tomorrow can be too late.
