I have been closer to the pearly gates then I would like, a few times, and all I could think of was my loved ones. Money, time, fame, traveling... None of these were in my movie flashback as I was in my last moments, which thankfully ended up not being my last. Although there are days I would like to be laying on a mattress stuffed with cash, I am thankful to have a home filled with love. That brings me much more comfort then a lumpy, money filled cushion.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17064084924219498676noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4722898771124083282.post-65791138266190483032016-03-01T06:21:30.557+08:002016-03-01T06:21:30.557+08:00It's absolutely important to spend time with y...It's absolutely important to spend time with your loved ones and tell them that they are important to you.

Despite the fact that it was caught early, she died in September, almost four years after her diagnosis. During those years I thought, a lot, about what I might have done differently. Leaving a legacy of love is an excellent answer. I am going to include this post in my weekly blog roundup on Sunday so others can think about leaving a legacy of love, too.
