[I/want/To/Marry/Chanelle]

I have always thought that we tend to take too much for granted in life. I remember 8 months back seeing my sister-in-law crying her eyes out when her mother was in hospital dying of cancer with only a short amount of time left and she was saying how much she wished she hadn't argued so much with her and things she should have done with her which she didn't do because of other stuff she was doing which she felt at that time was more important. She basically felt that she had taken her mum for granted all those years and now it was just all too late. No words could help her feel any better and I felt terrible at the time and helpless too.

Sadly she passed away about a couple or so weeks later and since then she has just become an emotional wreak. Totally messed up, almost at nervous-breakdown stage.

I have looked at life now through better eyes and try not to take too much for granted. Most of us have family members still with us and friends and aquaintances who we see and like a lot and basically we should be thankful that we are healthy and alive and have people who we can like, love, experience and not take them for granted that they will always be there and times will always be good because it won't always be that way. Nothing good lasts forever - as they say.

Does anyone feel like that sometimes that we tend to take too much for granted and expect too much, just treat life like it is just another day and so what?
