We have all heard people say "life goes on" as a way to remind themselves that indeed when things go awry or when they experience loss or frustration, life continues. This helps us not get weighed down by the past and move beyond hurt and pain and disappointment.

But I believe keeping in mind that eventually, life doesn't go on and that keeping in mind death is certain for us all, helps remind us to live in the moment, to appreciate what we have and not take for granted our children. They will never be the same as they are now. 

Nothing will ever come together as it is right now. So live it while you can.

So instead of wasting life worrying, being angry and living with regret, let's make each day the adventure it can be...along with the ups and downs.
