“After the funeral, my grandfather hugged me. And I’ll never forget what he said.
He told me that he had just lost the love of his life, the most important thing in the world to him,

If I had to pick but one thing
To take across the sea
I think I’d pick a good friend
To go along with me

Neatly Rolled And Tied
Are One Hundred Hug’s Inside
To Your Heart From Mine
Whether Your Day Is Good Or Bad
You’ll Find A Hug For Every Mood
Happy Or Sad

Someone who concerned with every thing you do,
Someone to call upon during good and bad times,
Someone who understands whatever you do,

When I look into the mirror
a different image I portray
To many I am a beauty
a sunshine on a cloudy day.

For today…

Smile at a stranger.
Listen to someone’s heart.

Drop a coin where a child can find it.
Learn something new, then teach it to someone.
Tell someone you’re thinking of them.

Hug a loved one.
Don’t hold a grudge.
Don’t be afraid to say "I’m sorry".

Look a child in the eye and tell them how great they are.
Look beyond the face of a person into their heart.
Make a promise, and keep it.

Call someone, for no other reason than to just say "hi".
Show kindness to an animal.
Stand up for what you believe in.

Smell the rain, feel the breeze, listen to the wind.
Use all your senses to their fullest.
Cherish all your today’s!

"And now abide faith, hope, love, these three;
but the greatest of these is love." (1 Corinthians 13:13)

Let’s always be
the kind of friends we are today.
Let’s always be there
for each other, no matter what.

Arthur Ashe, the legendary Wimbledon player was dying of AIDS which he got due to infected blood he received during a heart surgery in 1983. From world over, he received letters from his fans, one of which conveyed: ‘Why does GOD have to select you for such a bad disease’?

I GIVE TO YOU
A fire to light inside your heart,
to feel the warm embers glow.
A piece of the sun’s warm rays,
to bask in it’s fiery show.
