" Do not save your loving speeches for your friends till they are dead; Do not write them on their tombstone, speak them rather now instead." -Anna Cummins
When someone passes away, we often think of something we should have said. We should have told them how much they were loved and needed. We also think of things that should not have been said. We regret not being there for them when they needed us the most.
It is ironic that when a friend passes away we are there to share in their mourning. When people say live today like it will be your last, they are definitely right. I have lost many friends along the way, and I always say that I was not ready to lose them. There will always be something I needed to do or say for them, but I was not ready to miss them.

I feel the same way and alot of people don't truely understand until they lose someone close to them. But then it is too late.
I liked your quote this is really true. You never know what to say until it is to late.
The quote really hit home for me. I wish I could have said more to my dad.
I feel the same way and you never really know what you had until you loose it.
I liked your quote and I feel the same way. We need to tell people how much they mean to us while they are still here around us.
I really like your quote and true it is. No one truly realizes what they have until they don't have it anymore.
Your quote is so true and I need to remember to live each day as though it were my last. As fast as life goes, there is no time for misery and regrets. Your quote was very heartwarming and thanks for reminding me to do a little better!
How true this quote is! I lost my uncle when I was just 8 years old, and I can still look back to that dark day and think of everything that I wished I would have said.
