Imagine There Was No Tomorrow



Nathalie's Mom (this summer)



Nathalie and her parents (this summer 2010)

A good friend of mine is suffering.  Her mother, (her best friend), suddenly went into cardiac arrest this weekend and it is uncertain if she will make it.  It’s heartbreaking.  I don’t know what to write except for this prayer.  “God, please help to give Nathalie’s Mother the strength to pull through.  She is young, strong, and vibrant and her family needs her.  However, if you should feel it is her time to go, please ease her suffering and help her to come to you in peace.  And please give her family strength to get through these hard times.”  I’m shaking as I write this.  It puts everything in perspective.  I want to call everyone I love and tell them how much they mean to me.  I want to do this every day.  Imagine there was no tomorrow.  Although I know we will all have to deal with losing our mother (my best friend) some day, I can’t imagine loosing my mother…right now.  It would be devastating.  I love you Nathalie.  I’m so sorry you and your family are suffering.  I’m sending you so much good energy and love.  I am here for you always!

My Mom.  "I LOVE YOU MOM"

“Imagine there was no tomorrow

Imagine that I couldn’t see your face

 There’d be no limit to my sorrow

So all I can say

I wanna tell you something

Give you something

Show you in so many ways

Cause it would all mean nothing

If I don’t say something

Before it all goes away

Don’t wanna wait to bring you flowers

Waste another hour

Let alone another day

I’m gonna tell you something

Show you something

Won’t wait til it’s too late

Imagine there was no tomorrow

Imagine that I couldn’t see your face

There’d be no limit to my sorrow

Cause there is nothing that can fill this space

I wanna tell you something

Give you something

Show you in so many ways

Cause it would all mean nothing

If I don’t say something

Before it all goes away

Don’t wanna wait to bring you flowers

Waste another hour

Let alone another day

I’m gonna tell you something

Show you something

Won’t wait til it’s too late”
