If Tomorrow Never Comes

If tomorrow never comes, will you know how much I love you? These the lyrics from Ronin Keatings beautiful song – If Tomorrow Never Comes.

I’ve been so reminded of these words this week. Sadly, a very dear cousin of mine passed away last week. Through the grief and the sorrow, what’s come to mind is how crucial it is for us to always let each other know how much we love each other. Appreciation for the lives that we share should be right at the top of your priority list every day. Not just on those days that are set aside for Mothers, Fathers and the like.

I’ve been so fortunate in that, as a big group of cousins, we have always kept in touch, no matter where life has taken us. We end off most conversations with “I love you” and knowing this, has brought a degree of comfort this week. Life is so precious and even more tenuous and we don’t ever know when next we’ll get that chance – that chance to see you again, that chance to say I love you, that chance to say I appreciate you, that chance to say you mean so much in my life, that chance to say I am so grateful that I have you in my life, that chance to say I hear you, I see you.

Dear ones, please don’t let unnecessary arguments, pettiness and bruised egos, prevent you from sharing your life. Set aside the differences that you have, that need to be right and focus on what’s truly important. The reason you came to be part of each other’s lives in the first place. Take the time now to say you’re sorry, to set things right – you never know, you may never be given another chance.

I have consulted with so many people whose loved ones come back to say they’re sorry in a reading. And whilst it has meaning in the reading, it isn’t the same as when done face to face and in the flesh. Remember that our relationships are what they are because they are contributing to our personal spiritual growth. It is through our relationships that we become who we are. It is through our relationships that we can push ourselves to be better people. We learn from each other every single day. We learn from the mistakes that are made and from the wonderful experiences that bring joy, delight, achievement and happiness. Sadly, the hardest lessons are from our most difficult moments we experience and if we deny ourselves the opportunity to take those difficult moments and turn them into a teaching moment, a space to work on ourselves and grow, then we are denying ourselves and those whom we love.

Be kind to yourselves and everyone you love. Treat each moment as a treasure, something to take with you and tuck in your heart. Create moments of pleasurable memories so that you can take those with you and tuck them in your heart too.

Until next time, I remain as always

In love and light

Yours in service
