Dear FML,
This was sent to me from a dear friend knowing the struggle going on with
my ferret Lilly and wanted to share it with you all.(it's long but worth
the time)
 
If Tomorrow Never Comes
 
If I knew it would be the last time that I'd see you fall asleep,
I would tuck you in more tightly and pray the Lord, your soul to keep.
 
If I knew it would be the last time that I see you walk out(run through)
the door, I would give you a hug and kiss and call you back for one more.
 
If I knew it would be the last time I'd hear your voice lifted up in
praise(chortling), I would video tape each action and word, so I could
play them back day after day.
 
If I knew it would be the last time, I could spare an extra minute or two
to stop and say "I love you," instead of assuming, you KNOW I do.
 
If I knew it would be the last time I would be there to share your day(well
I'm SURE you'll have so many more) so I can just let THIS ONE slip away.
 
For surely there's always tomorrow to make up for an oversight,
and we always get a second chance to make everything right.
 
There will always be another day to say our "I love you's",
and certainly there's another chance to say our "Anything I can do's?"
 
But JUST IN CASE I might be wrong, and today is all I get,
I'd like to say how much I love you and I will never forget.
 
Tomorrow is not promised to anyone, young or old alike.
 
And today may be the last chance you get to hold your loved one(furry one)
tight.
 
So, if you're waiting for tomorrow, why not do it today?
 
For if tomorrow never comes, you'll regret the day, that you didn't take
that extra time for a smile, a hug, or a kiss and you were too busy to
grant someone, what turned out to be their last wish.(a cuddle and love)
 
So hold your loved ones close today, whisper in their ear, tell them how
much you love them and that you'll always hold them dear.
 
Take the time to tell them you're sorry, to forgive you, or that it's okay.
 
And if tomorrow never comes, you'll have no regrets about today.
 
~To my precious Moosie who I miss so badly and to my oldest Lilly who is
struggling to stay~
