Life Hug Your Family and Tell Them You Love Them Today - The Dog Too - Page 4

houstonwhodat · 04-16-2013, 05:15 AM

I don't know about you guys but I didn't sleep a wink last night.

The events yesterday, though not of the same magnitude, reminded me the events of 9/11 and how we should all pull together at this time.

As I prepare to battle the masses in Houston's legendary morning rush hour traffic, I would like to encourage everyone to hug their family and tell them how much you love them today. Don't forget the family pet.

It's times like these that remind me of how fragile life is and how it can be over in the blink of an eye. We don't know what's coming and how long we have on this earth so let's cherish the time we have here.

We all have different political viewpoints and different opinions of things and that's OK. We're allowed to have them and that's what makes America great, why others want to come here, and why some people who don't have this freedom hate us.

We can respectfully disagree with each other, that's OK.

But no one, I mean no one will destroy America.

Either way, I'm not going to change my life one bit. I'm still going to tell my wife I love her every day, and I'm not going to do it BECAUSE a bombing in Boston happened.

This event was eerily similar to the 1996 bomb at the Olympics. And that's something people barely even talk about anymore.

I'll be sure to tell her too, SNR

These don't constitute majority. The friendlessness and understanding you get from the rest outweigh the vocal minority.

If you needed 100+ people that you'll never meet being injured in a city that most Americans will never visit to remind you of that, then no temporary re-calibration of your sense of perspective is going to matter.

I tell my wife I love her and give her a kiss every day before work. Same when she gets home from work (or something to the effect). Hell, before I go to bed each night I go and pet all 3 dogs, tell them that they're good dogs and give them a peck on the top of the head. One of these days I'll include a kid or two in those rounds as well.

Either you have a healthy handle on what's important in life or you don't. Yesterday's events shouldn't change that.

You have a point. But sometimes people take things for granted. These events serve as reminders, I would suppose. We are lucky we are in the good end of it.

Reminders?? I can turn on my local news every night and get a reminder of how blessed my life is.

Like i mentioned before, hundreds of people die tragically every single day in this country, but they dont get near the press attention.

You're right. I guess some of us became too desensitized to other types of tragedies.

It takes THIS to realize that you can't take your life for granted?

I was planning on going there. I guess that's why it impacted me more.
