The Alphabet Sisters

I bought this book a few years ago. I do that a lot... I'm completely obsessed with books, I buy them a lot, don't always read a lot. Which is why I am trying to read a book a week. This book started out fabulously, loved the plot... sisters have a big row and not talk for 3 years, and then have a reunion of sorts, all because of their batty grandmother. It was great... then of course it takes a turn, and one of the sisters finds out she has a horrible cancer... and yes, dies (Sorry, spoiler alert).  I was BALLING!! All I could think about was my cousin, and how  it may have been in her life, and how I wish that I didn't leave it til the last min to see her.

I can't change anything... and I'm trying hard to not let that happen in my other relationships in life, and yet there are still plenty of family members that we don't see. I will admit that I try... it is important to me, and I come up against brick walls sometimes. But I don't want years to go by before seeing someone, and realizing that they are gone too soon and I can't have that time back!

Live each day like it were your last! Make sure to keep in contact with those you love, and tell them often!! Even if they barely make the time for you! If it is important to you, then make it happen!!
