Someone sent me this in an email so I can't take credit for it.. but I loved it 
TO REALIZE...
To realize
The value of a sister/brother
Ask someone
Who doesn't have one. To realize
The value of ten years:
Ask a newly
Divorced couple. To realize
The value of four years:
Ask a graduate. To realize
The value of one year:
Ask a student who
Has failed a final exam. To realize
The value of nine months:
Ask a mother who gave birth to a stillborn. To realize
The value of one month:
Ask a mother
Who has given birth to
A premature baby. To realize
The value of one week:
Ask an editor of a weekly newspaper. To realize
The value of one minute:
Ask a person
Who has missed the train, bus or plane. To realize
The value of one second:
Ask a person
Who has survived an accident. Time waits for no one. Treasure every moment you have. You will treasure it even more when
You can share it with someone special. To realize the value of a friend or family member: LOSE ONE. The origin of this letter is unknown,
But it brings good luck to everyone who passes it on. Remember.... Hold on tight to the ones you love!

How nice! Hmmm, I'm gonna add something too: The Paradox of Our Age
We have bigger problems
and smaller families;
more convenience , but less time;
we have degrees, but less sense;
more knowledge, but less judgement;
more experts, but more problems;
more medecine, but less healthiness.
We have been all the way to the moon and back, but have trouble crossing the street to meet the new neighbour.
We built computers to hold more information to produce more copies than ever,
but have less communication.
We have become long on quantity,
but short on quality.
These are times of fast foods,
and slow digestion;
tall man and short character;
steep profits, and shallow relationships.
It is a time when there is much in the window,
and nothing in the room. -His Holiness The XIVth Dalai Lama ------------------

CS  The bit about the value of 10 years touched me because I was married just 3 months shy of our 10 yr anniversary..
Thing is that it took me about 5 years to get up the gumph to actually divorce him...hardest thing I ever did. IP: Logged |

WinkAway: Divorces are hard ordeals to get through. I really liked the part about siblings, I have a sister and used to be meaner than even what they show in TV shows while she continually forgave my extreme tantrums. And now she's older and I want to kick myself.Nephtys: Yup, there are experts on practically everything, and yet they don't really seem to do much but tell people that they're experts. IP: Logged |

CS.. Yes, divorces are terrible. That's why if I ever marry again, I will be extremely careful who I say yes to. It will be a question that doesn't need answering. I will just know he's the one. It has to be this way next time. I won't settle for less.
There has to be someone out there for me. If not, I'll die alone. All or nothing baby!!And with sisters. Yours sounds like the relationship I had with mine. We would pull each other's hair, call each other every name in the book, etc.. She was popular in school and I was a bit of a geek. Total opposites. We came together for awhile after school, then she moved to Virginia which is wayyyy far away from Utah. Now we just don't talk anymore and I hardly ever see her. Makes me kind of sad. But hopefully you two will keep the communication going. I do believe that once we mature, our younger not so mature selves will be a distant memory and you will be able to relate better. I'm rambling again.. it's Friday and I'm at work and this day is SLOW!!

I'm sure you'll find him, from the sounds of it many are these days 
Hmm, I didn't know these things actually carried that far. I'm trying to undo the damage, it's taking a while but I think it'll work since she's still relatively young. ------------------
